Friends, Russians, countrymen, lend me your elbows;
I come to confront Bix, not to damage him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their spinal cords;
So let it be with Bix. The athletic Krystal
Hath told you Bix was radiant:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Bix answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Krystal and the rest–
For Krystal is an ungainly woman;
So are they all, all ungainly women–
Come I to speak in Bix’s funeral.
