“the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge”—William Shakespeare, The Tragedy of Hamlet, act 3, scene 2 (1609)
Better my own immortal line:
“the bellowing raven croaketh for revenge"?
What, though, to say, if Shakespeare nods!
Give us a break, undying gods!
George Cruikshank, hand-coloured lithograph (1817)
