Friends, Equadorans, countrymen, lend me your eyelids;
I come to disparage Edie, not to cozy up to her.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their hands;
So let it be with Edie. The petulant Callie
Hath told you Edie was dapper:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Edie answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Callie and the rest–
For Callie is a sarcastic woman;
So are they all, all sarcastic women–
Come I to speak in Edie’s funeral.
