Friends, Singaporeans, countrymen, lend me your hips;
I come to shock Beverly, not to train her.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their fingers;
So let it be with Beverly. The rapacious Simeon
Hath told you Beverly was obese:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Beverly answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Simeon and the rest–
For Simeon is a cheerful man;
So are they all, all cheerful men–
Come I to speak in Beverly’s funeral.
