Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
15. What did his will state?
Shakespeare's will made on 25th of March, 1616. In it, Shakespeare left the bulk of his large state to his older daughter Susanna.
As an afterthought, he bequeathed his "second-best bed" to his wife; but no one can be certain what this notorious legacy means.
