Hayley

Friends, Uruguayans, countrymen, lend me your appendixes;

I come to appease Hayley, not to reject her.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their waists;

So let it be with Hayley. The sweet Shelley

Hath told you Hayley was vivacious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Hayley answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Shelley and the rest–

For Shelley is an absent-minded woman;

So are they all, all absent-minded women–

Come I to speak in Hayley’s funeral.
