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 depos'd.
Some poison'd by their wives, some sleeping kill'd.
All murdered – for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king,
Keeps Death his court ...
(William Shakespeare, Richard II)
Quoted at the front of Helen Hollick's A Hollow Crown
