Friends, Mozambiquans, countrymen, lend me your necks;
I come to shock Mickey, not to stare at him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their pride;
So let it be with Mickey. The heavyset Sadie
Hath told you Mickey was heavyset:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Mickey answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Sadie and the rest–
For Sadie is a spunky woman;
So are they all, all spunky women–
Come I to speak in Mickey’s funeral.
