  1. A quotation from Shakespeare

    KING RICHARD: For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
       And tell sad stories of the death of kings —
       How some have been deposed, some slain in war,
       Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
       Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed,
       All murdered.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 160ff (3.2.160-165) (1595)
