Friends, Lithuanians, countrymen, lend me your feet;
I come to mock DeWitt, not to doubt him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their kneecaps;
So let it be with DeWitt. The hysterical Latrina
Hath told you DeWitt was desperate:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath DeWitt answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Latrina and the rest–
For Latrina is a puzzled woman;
So are they all, all puzzled women–
Come I to speak in DeWitt’s funeral.
