Wise men
Fight too much for these holy sepulchres!
Are not the living images of God
Better than empty graves?
OBERON
One grave is filled
Now; for our fairy couriers have brought
Tidings that Richard Lion-Heart is dead.
SHADOW-OF-A-LEAF
Dead?
OBERON
Dead! In a few brief hours the news will reach
The wicked Prince. He will be King of England,
With Marian in his power!
