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)
