Antony in Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR is the most well-known example.
Also, the Klingon General Chang said it as his bird of prey attacked Kirk's Enterprise in STAR TREK 6 - THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.
Too bad JACKASSES like Al Kyder, above, open their bad attitudes before checking their facts. It wasn't in Richard, and IT IS "let slip," not "unleash." Do a little more research before badmouthing an innocent questioner.

Shakespeare, in "Julius Caesar," act III, scene 1. Antony is standing over the body of his murdered friend Caesar, and calls down curses and horrors on those who killed him:
O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!
Thou art the ruins of the noblest man
That ever lived in the tide of times.
Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!
Over thy wounds now do I prophesy,--
Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips,
To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue--
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;
Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

I said it first to Will, but he said he liked it so much he would put it in one of his new plays. It was me that thought up the bit about music being the food of love too.
