Friends, Vietnamese, countrymen, lend me your gall bladders;
I come to chat with Celeste, not to split up with her.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their waists;
So let it be with Celeste. The distressed Ava
Hath told you Celeste was athletic:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Celeste answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Ava and the rest–
For Ava is a loving woman;
So are they all, all loving women–
Come I to speak in Celeste’s funeral.
