Friends, Czechs, countrymen, lend me your fingernails;
I come to castigate Brent, not to trust him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their guts;
So let it be with Brent. The emotional Harvey
Hath told you Brent was depraved:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Brent answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Harvey and the rest–
For Harvey is an ignoble man;
So are they all, all ignoble men–
Come I to speak in Brent’s funeral.
