  I think it just refused to run because it won't stand for you promulgating
misreferenced quotations like that!

William Shakespeare: The Life and Death of King Richard III
ACT I. 
3. SCENE III. London. A Room in the Palace. (continued)

 [ ... ]

FIRST MURDERER. 
Tut, tut, my lord, we will not stand to prate; 
Talkers are no good doers: be assur'd 
We go to use our hands, and not our tongues.


GLOSTER. 
Your eyes drop millstones when fools' eyes fall tears: 
I like you, lads;--about your business straight; 
Go, go, despatch.


FIRST MURDERER. 
We will, my noble lord. 

[Exeunt.]


    cheers, 
      DaveK  [exeunt stage left pursued by an OT tag!]
