Garrick (or maybe another actor of equal caliber) was playing Richard III.
When he uttered the Most Famous Last Words of them all:
"A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!"
a wit in the audience shouted:
"Will a donkey do?"
Garrick didn't blink an eye:
"Yes! Come!"

I did not know that garrick meant one who governs with a spear.
