In Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2, Act 3, Scene 1, the king has a soliloquy. It begins, "How many thousand of my poorest subjects / Are at this hour asleep! O sleep, O gentle sleep, . . ." At the end, he declares, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
My Web searches cannot find the source of the *extremely* widespread MISquotation, so I'm about to post that as my very first Question here!

It was William Shakespeare in his play: King Henry the Fourth, Part II (King Henry at III, i)
It was originally, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
Wish you the best

That sounds like something written by Shakespeare...
