Righty right, my bad.

And surely not Macbeth: "Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that
struts and frets his hour upon the stage/And then is heard no more."

or Titus Andronicus:
"O, why should nature build so foul a den,
Unless the gods delight in tragedies?"
or Coriolanus:
"In that day's feats,
When he might act the woman in the scene,
He proved best man i' th' field, and for his meed
Was brow-bound with the oak."
or, at a stretch, Othello:
"Lechery, by this hand; an index and obscure
prologue to the history of lust and foul thoughts."
or, least of all, Macbeth:
"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more."
