Mercutio, dying, in Romeo and Juliet. But the correct quote is "a plague o'both your houses", (from the Cambridge Edition of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, among other sources) as he is speaking of the Montagues and Capulets, whose feud led to his death.
Check the discussion of Act III in the source below.

This is from Romeo and Juliet when Tybalt has just killed Mercutio after Romeo interfered in the fight. It is a misquote and should read "a plague o'both your houses"
