A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon,

Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,
All scattered in the bottom of the sea. - William Shakespeare Attribution: William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Clarence, in Richard III, act 1, sc. 4, l. 24-8. Describing his dream of wealth scattered among dead bodies.
