Friends, Portuguese, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to doubt Vilmer, not to call him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their beards;
So let it be with Vilmer. The crazy Joanie
Hath told you Vilmer was cautious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Vilmer answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Joanie and the rest–
For Joanie is a radiant woman;
So are they all, all radiant women–
Come I to speak in Vilmer’s funeral.
