Friends, Bermudans, countrymen, lend me your ribs;
I come to trust Henry, not to jab him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their chins;
So let it be with Henry. The boring Rip
Hath told you Henry was hairy:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Henry answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Rip and the rest–
For Rip is a difficult man;
So are they all, all difficult men–
Come I to speak in Henry’s funeral.
