• Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.

    William Shakespeare: Either our history shall with full mouth
Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave,
Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth,
Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.
    William Shakespeare (1851). “The comedies, histories, tragedies and poems of William Shakspere, ed. by C. Knight. National ed. [6]”, p.429
