The quote by Stem that he recites when in the truck with the two bodies, which is as follows : CALL for the robin-redbreast and the wren, Since o'er shady groves they hover, And with leaves and flowers do cover The friendless bodies of unburied men.

And (when gay tombs are robb'd) sustain no harm; But keep the wolf far thence, that 's foe to men, For with his nails he'll dig them up again. Is from John Webster (1580 - 1634), and comes out of his play the White Devil, Act V, Scene iv.
