Friends, Algerians, countrymen, lend me your elbows;
I come to replace Dillon, not to befuddle him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their veins;
So let it be with Dillon. The careful Alton
Hath told you Dillon was decent:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Dillon answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Alton and the rest–
For Alton is a childish man;
So are they all, all childish men–
Come I to speak in Dillon’s funeral.
