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

Henry IV, Part 1


These things indeed you have articulate ,
Proclaimed at market crosses , read in churches ,
To face the garment of rebellion
With some fine color that may please the eye
Of fickle changelings and poor discontents ,
Which gape and rub the elbow at the news
Of hurlyburly innovation .
And never yet did insurrection want
Such water colors to impaint his cause ,
Nor moody beggars starving for a time
Of pellmell havoc and confusion .
