Cornelius

Friends, Filipinos, countrymen, lend me your heels;

I come to pin Cornelius, not to delight him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their teeth;

So let it be with Cornelius. The rapacious Paul

Hath told you Cornelius was impish:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Cornelius answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Paul and the rest–

For Paul is an agile man;

So are they all, all agile men–

Come I to speak in Cornelius’s funeral.
