Friends, Swedes, countrymen, lend me your spines;
I come to disparage Stan, not to smile at him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their scalps;
So let it be with Stan. The contented Fuzz
Hath told you Stan was mean:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Stan answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Fuzz and the rest–
For Fuzz is a bubbly man;
So are they all, all bubbly men–
Come I to speak in Stan’s funeral.
