Sorry if this question has been asked previously. I have Googled my question but cant find the answer.
How many / what Queen songs have a Shakespeare reference in them.
Cheers

'Serpent of the Nile' from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra.
I am sure there are more but I can't think of any off hand.

Just thought of another one:
Much ado about nothing (All dead all dead). Also the name of a play written by Shakespeare.

Apparently 'You've got the cutest ass I've ever seen' is in the fourth act of Henry Fifth? (Henry V) I might be wrong?!

Actually this is falsely attributed to Shakespeare (The Tempest), I think.
