Friends, Swedes, countrymen, lend me your knees;
I come to amuse Luann, not to transform her.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their aortas;
So let it be with Luann. The cheerful Blanca
Hath told you Luann was disagreeable:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Luann answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Blanca and the rest–
For Blanca is a witty woman;
So are they all, all witty women–
Come I to speak in Luann’s funeral.
