89,707. Therefore our sometime sister, now our queen,
The imperial jointress to this warlike state,
Have we, as ’twere with a defeated joy, –

With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,
In equal scale weighing delight and dole, –
Taken to wife: nor have we herein barr’d
Your better wisdoms, which have freely gone
With this affair along. For all, our thanks.

Holding a weak supposal of our worth,
Or thinking by our late dear brother's death
Our state to be disjoint and out of frame ... (State & King & Queen) William Shakespeare, Hamlet I ii, Claudius
