Friends, Nigerians, countrymen, lend me your egos;
I come to block Jerry, not to trip him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their teeth;
So let it be with Jerry. The angry Lillie
Hath told you Jerry was perky:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Jerry answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Lillie and the rest–
For Lillie is a talkative woman;
So are they all, all talkative women–
Come I to speak in Jerry’s funeral.
