The line that you have asked about comes from William Shakespeare’s “King Henry IV, Part 3”. It is from the very beginning of Act V, scene ii and is spoken by King Edward IV when he carries in the wounded Warwick. The entire four lines section spoken by King Edward IV states,
“So, lie thou there: die thou, and die our fear;
For Warwick was a bug that fear'd us all.
Now, Montague, sit fast; I seek for thee,
That Warwick's bones may keep thine company.” (A. 5, s. 2, lines 1-4)
