Friends, Afghanis, countrymen, lend me your little fingers;
I come to draw strength from James, not to date him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their egos;
So let it be with James. The sophisticated Rosa
Hath told you James was tired:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath James answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Rosa and the rest–
For Rosa is a cruel woman;
So are they all, all cruel women–
Come I to speak in James’s funeral.
