Friends, Swedes, countrymen, lend me your appendixes;
I come to caress Roy, not to replace him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their ankles;
So let it be with Roy. The bilious Alan
Hath told you Roy was impish:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Roy answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Alan and the rest–
For Alan is an energetic man;
So are they all, all energetic men–
Come I to speak in Roy’s funeral.
