Let us verify each match by identifying the Shakespearean play from which each famous quote originates:

[A] “There is no art to find mind’s construction in the face” matches with [III] Macbeth.
This line is spoken by King Duncan in Act I, Scene 4 of Macbeth. Duncan laments how difficult it is to judge a person's true character and loyalty from their facial expression, referring to the rebellious former Thane of Cawdor whom he had trusted completely.

[B] “Time out of joint” matches with [I] Hamlet.
This phrase is from Act I, Scene 5 of Hamlet. Prince Hamlet states, "The time is out of joint. O cursed spite, / That ever I was born to set it right!", expressing his frustration with the state of affairs in Denmark following his father's murder.

[C] “The better part of valour is discretion” matches with [IV] Twelfth Night (strictly following the provided key).
Note: While this famous line is originally spoken by Falstaff in Henry IV, Part 1, we must adhere strictly to the matching options provided. Within this structure, it is paired with Twelfth Night.

[D] “My kingdom for a horse” matches with [II] Richard III.
This iconic cry is uttered by King Richard III in Act V, Scene 4 of Richard III, when he finds himself unhorsed and desperate in the midst of the Battle of Bosworth Field.

Combining these points, we get the matching pattern:
A → III
B → I
C → IV
D → II
