I just searched through Hamlet myself, and got this distribution from that.
I scaled the most frequent, {a}, to 100 to allow a fair comparison.
I would not at all be suprised if they check out with the other distributions.
a 100, ' 97, e 57, o 57, H 55, I 51, j 45, u 43, m 37, v 31, D 30, l 29,
q 26, gh 26, S 25, t 23, b 23, ch 20, n 20, p 19, w 17, y 16, r 15, Q 14,
tlh 11, ng 7.
