Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Crown

Within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king,
Keeps death his court; and there the antick sits,
Scoffing his state, and grinning at his pomp.
Shakespeare.—King Richard II., Act III. Scene 2. (To Aumerle.)

This coronet part between you.
Shakespeare.—King Lear, Act I. Scene 1. (The King to Cornwall and Albany.)
