Friends, Equadorans, countrymen, lend me your cheeks;
I come to cover Bart, not to lie to him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their cheeks;
So let it be with Bart. The stylish Nicki
Hath told you Bart was enthusiastic:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Bart answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Nicki and the rest–
For Nicki is an undignified woman;
So are they all, all undignified women–
Come I to speak in Bart’s funeral.
