Friends, Frenchmen, countrymen, lend me your eyes;
I come to heckle Wesley, not to banish him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their collarbones;
So let it be with Wesley. The dreadful Shirley
Hath told you Wesley was energetic:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Wesley answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Shirley and the rest–
For Shirley is a hysterical woman;
So are they all, all hysterical women–
Come I to speak in Wesley’s funeral.
