Friends, Zambians, countrymen, lend me your calves;
I come to slap Bronk, not to belittle him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their eyes;
So let it be with Bronk. The drowsy Edmond
Hath told you Bronk was loving:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Bronk answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Edmond and the rest–
For Edmond is a big man;
So are they all, all big men–
Come I to speak in Bronk’s funeral.
