Here are all of the speeches where annexment shows up across the corpus:

Hamlet


The single and peculiar life is bound
With all the strength and armor of the mind
To keep itself from noyance , but much more
That spirit upon whose weal depends and rests
The lives of many . The cess of majesty
Dies not alone , but like a gulf doth draw
What’s near it with it ; or it is a massy wheel
Fixed on the summit of the highest mount ,
To whose huge spokes ten thousand lesser things
Are mortised and adjoined , which , when it falls ,
Each small annexment , petty consequence ,
Attends the boist’rous ruin . Never alone
Did the king sigh , but with a general groan .
