DARNEL

CORDELIA

DARNEL, and all the idle weeds that grow

In our sustaining corn.

—King Lear [Act IV, sc. 4]

BURGUNDY

Her fallow leas,

The DARNEL,

hemlock and rank fumitory

Doth root upon.

—Henry V [Act V, sc. 2]

JOAN LA PUCELLE

Want ye corn for bread?

I think the Duke of Burgundy will fast

Before he’ll buy again at such a rate;

’Twas full of DARNEL—do you like the taste?

—Henry VI, Pt, 1 [Act III, sc. 2]
