Friends, Irish, countrymen, lend me your bladders;
I come to go out with Howard, not to mislead him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their hearts;
So let it be with Howard. The lanky Bull
Hath told you Howard was funny:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Howard answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Bull and the rest–
For Bull is a friendly man;
So are they all, all friendly men–
Come I to speak in Howard’s funeral.
