I was under the opinion that Browne quotes are thought to be part of the
common cultural heritage of educated people, and therefore need no more
attribution than quotes from the Bible or Shakespeare or Marlowe. Btw,
where does the quote 'Except my life - except my life - except my life'
come from?


It's from Hamlet.  I don't have any Shakespeare books handy so I can't tell you when and where Hamlet speaks the line, but I know that it is from that play.
