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

Troilus and Cressida


To make a recordation to my soul
Of every syllable that here was spoke .
But if I tell how these two did co-act ,
Shall I not lie in publishing a truth ?
Sith yet there is a credence in my heart ,
An esperance so obstinately strong .
That doth invert th’ attest of eyes and ears ,
As if those organs had deceptious functions ,
Created only to calumniate .
Was Cressid here ?
