Virgil is the great Roman poet most renowned for his Aeneidas a good quality bed with no fleas or vermin was a highly prizedthing.Adding further to the debate was the epitaph that Shakespeare left on his grave: “Blest be the man that spares these stones, / And cursed by he that moves my bones.” While some say Shakespeare meant it to frighten grave robbers, the wording was taken so seriously that when his wife died 7 years later, they would not allow her body to be placed with his.莎士比亚的遗愿让人对他和他妻子安妮海参崴的关系引起了很大的猜想。不仅仅是因为这是个不寻常的要求，而且这个要求被加入到了遗嘱文件上好像是再三思量的结果。在那个时候，留下一张床给别人这件事本身是很正常的，因为一张没有跳蚤或者虫子的高质量的床是非常值钱，非常贵的一样东西。使争论更加激化的是在莎士比亚的墓志铭：保佑那些不会动这些骨头的人，诅咒那些会动我的骨头的人。当时有人说莎士比亚是想吓走那些盗墓贼，这个措词十分严谨，直到7年后她妻子死了，人们竟然发觉墓碑上的墓志铭不允许她妻子的骨灰和他的放在一起。 8 8 Charles Dickens 查尔斯 狄更斯（Charles Dickens） Died: 1870 死于1870年

In addition to the above, Dickens also wrote that he was not to have a public funeral and the place and time of his funeral were not to be made public.He also requested an inexpensive and simple funeral with only three plain “mourning coaches”.His requests were ignoredthis was overruled by a court as it was “impoible” and the money was distributed to 3 organizations: The British Museum, The National Gallery of Ireland, and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.肖对宗教十分厌恶，他的遗愿包括他给与达尔文的千年创世传奇的支持而不是圣经里的六日创世说。肖对改革新的英文拼写的想法非常着迷。他创造了1个含有40个音标发音的字母表来使拼写更为简单。他遗嘱中写到他相当大部分的遗产是用来促进新字母表的发展，但是这被法院以不可能而驳回。然后钱被分给了3个机构组织：大不列颠博物馆，爱尔兰国家艺廊和皇家戏剧学院。 6 6 Benjamin Franklin 本杰明 富兰克林（Benjamin Franklin） Died: 1790 死于1790年
Last Wish: That in a democracy, his daughter not engage in “the expensive, vain and usele pastime of wearing jewels.”

He left nothing to his son in law, Prince Rainier of Monaco, stating: 他没有给他的女婿摩纳哥的Rainier王子留任何东西，因为：
I don’t want to give the impreion that I am against sons-in-law.If they are the right type, they will provide for themselves and their families, and what I am able to give my daughters will help pay the dre shop bills, which, if they continue as they started out, under the able tutelage of their mother, will be quite considerable.我想给人的印象是我不重视我的女婿。如果他们是健全的人，他们将会能够养活自己和家人，我所能给予我女儿的能够支付他们做衣服用的钱，如果她们像以前一样在她们母亲的监督下，已经将是很多的一笔开支了。 4 4 Harry Houdini 哈利 霍迪尼（Harry Houdini） Died: 1926 死于1926年

Bowman’s wife and two daughters had died before him and he became convinced that when he died, his entire family would be reincarnated together.Driven by this odd belief, he set up a trust worth $50,000 to pay servants to keep up the housework in his 21 room mansion.He also requested that a daily meal be prepared in case the family returned hungry.The will was honored until the trust ran out of funds in 1950.伯尔曼的妻子和2个女儿在他之前就已经死了，他坚信当他死时，他所有的家人将会一起重生。受到这样奇怪念头的驱使，他用了5万美元来请能信赖的仆人来维持他的21间大房子。他同时要求每天要准备一顿饭以免全家人回来的时候饿肚子。这个遗嘱一直都被履行着直到1950年信托的资金全都用完。 Bonus 额外补充 T M Zink T M Zink Died: 1930 死于1930年
