Jeremy

Friends, Filipinos, countrymen, lend me your belly buttons;

I come to correct Jeremy, not to draw strength from him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their spinal cords;

So let it be with Jeremy. The absent-minded Jack

Hath told you Jeremy was fearless:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Jeremy answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Jack and the rest–

For Jack is a cocky man;

So are they all, all cocky men–

Come I to speak in Jeremy’s funeral.
