Friends, Mongolians, countrymen, lend me your heads;
I come to befuddle Lonnie, not to go out with him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their esophaguses;
So let it be with Lonnie. The brilliant Maria
Hath told you Lonnie was sassy:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Lonnie answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Maria and the rest–
For Maria is a haughty woman;
So are they all, all haughty women–
Come I to speak in Lonnie’s funeral.
