| 2H4 V.ii.18 | [Warwick to Lord Chief Justice] How many nobles then should hold their places / That must strike sail to spirits of vile sort! [i.e. submit] |
| 3H6 III.iii.5 | [Queen to Lewis, of herself] Margaret / Must strike her sail and learn awhile to serve / Where kings command [i.e. humble herself] |
