Citing a play!

Here is an example of how lines from the play should be cited:

At the end of the play, Richard tries to regain his kingdom by imagining his thoughts as his subjects, "And these same thoughts people this little world, / In humours like the people of this world" (V.i.9-10).

Notice that "9-10" lets us know that both Lines 9 and 10 have been quoted. You DON'T need to cite each line separately. Also, please notice that the period goes at the very end--there is NO PERIOD before the last quotation mark.
