Friends, Brazilians, countrymen, lend me your spines;
I come to sit on Dillon, not to call the cops on him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their collarbones;
So let it be with Dillon. The somber Dick
Hath told you Dillon was puzzled:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Dillon answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Dick and the rest–
For Dick is a young man;
So are they all, all young men–
Come I to speak in Dillon’s funeral.
