Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
– William Shakespeare
Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 3. Hamlet to Claudius, on how death is the great equalizer. A king is eaten by worms and a beggar can fish with one of those worms and eat the fish that fed on that worm. Claudius’ killing by Hamlet in revenge for King Hamlet’s murder is being foreshadowed here.
