Friends, Nepalese, countrymen, lend me your skins;
I come to investigate Roger, not to sneer at him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their lips;
So let it be with Roger. The energetic Flash
Hath told you Roger was confident:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Roger answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Flash and the rest–
For Flash is a witty man;
So are they all, all witty men–
Come I to speak in Roger’s funeral.
