Shakespeare.    

	This act is an ancient tale new told;
	And, in the last repeating, troublesome,
	Being urged at a time unseasonable.

Shakespeare.    

	Who gather round, and wonder at the tale
	Of horrid apparition, tall and ghastly,
	That walks at dead of night, or takes his stand
	O’er some new-open’d grave, and, strange to tell,
	Evanishes at crowing of the cock.
