Jimmie Lee

Friends, Paraguayans, countrymen, lend me your hooves;

I come to agree with Jimmie Lee, not to trip him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their Adam's apples;

So let it be with Jimmie Lee. The precocious Frances

Hath told you Jimmie Lee was insane:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Jimmie Lee answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Frances and the rest–

For Frances is a sleek woman;

So are they all, all sleek women–

Come I to speak in Jimmie Lee’s funeral.
