Teil 2 Folge 75: Richard II - vom Tod von Königen

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground


And tell sad stories of the death of kings:
           
 


How some have been depos’d, some slain in war,
           
 


Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
           
 


Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping kill’d,
         


All murthered—for within the hollow crown


That rounds the mortal temples of a king
           
 


Keeps Death his court


(William Shakespeare: Richard II, Act 3 Scene 2)
