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

Troilus and Cressida

O virtuous fight ,
When right with right wars who shall be most right !
True swains in love shall in the world to come
Approve their truth by Troilus . When their rhymes ,
Full of protest , of oath and big compare ,
Wants similes , truth tired with iteration —
As true as steel , as plantage to the moon ,
As sun to day , as turtle to her mate ,
As iron to adamant , as Earth earth to th’ center —
Yet , after all comparisons of truth ,
As truth’s authentic author to be cited ,
As true as Troilus shall crown up the verse
And sanctify the numbers .
