Here are all of the speeches where untempering shows up across the corpus:
Now
fie
upon
my
false
French
.
By
mine
honor
,
in
true
English
,
I
love
thee
,
Kate
.
By
which
honor
I
dare
not
swear
thou
lovest
me
,
yet
my
blood
begins
to
flatter
me
that
thou
dost
,
notwithstanding
the
poor
and
untempering
effect
of
my
visage
.
Now
beshrew
my
father’s
ambition
!
He
was
thinking
of
civil
wars
when
he
got
me
;
therefore
was
I
created
with
a
stubborn
outside
,
with
an
aspect
of
iron
,
that
when
I
come
to
woo
ladies
,
I
fright
them
.
But
,
in
faith
,
Kate
,
the
elder
I
wax
,
the
better
I
shall
appear
.
My
comfort
is
that
old
age
,
that
ill
layer-up
of
beauty
,
can
do
no
more
spoil
upon
my
face
.
Thou
hast
me
,
if
thou
hast
me
,
at
the
worst
,
and
thou
shalt
wear
me
,
if
thou
wear
me
,
better
and
better
.
And
therefore
tell
me
,
most
fair
Katherine
,
will
you
have
me
?
Put
off
your
maiden
blushes
,
avouch
the
thoughts
of
your
heart
with
the
looks
of
an
empress
,
take
me
by
the
hand
,
and
say
Harry
of
England
,
I
am
thine
,
which
word
thou
shalt
no
sooner
bless
mine
ear
withal
,
but
I
will
tell
thee
aloud
England
is
thine
,
Ireland
is
thine
,
France
is
thine
,
and
Henry
Plantagenet
is
thine
,
who
,
though
I
speak
it
before
his
face
,
if
he
be
not
fellow
with
the
best
king
,
thou
shalt
find
the
best
king
of
good
fellows
.
Come
,
your
answer
in
broken
music
,
for
thy
voice
is
music
,
and
thy
English
broken
.
Therefore
,
queen
of
all
,
Katherine
,
break
thy
mind
to
me
in
broken
English
.
Wilt
thou
have
me
?
