Friends, Czechs, countrymen, lend me your thoraxes;
I come to isolate Marissa, not to overlook her.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their hooves;
So let it be with Marissa. The wary Helmut
Hath told you Marissa was crafty:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Marissa answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Helmut and the rest–
For Helmut is a choleric man;
So are they all, all choleric men–
Come I to speak in Marissa’s funeral.
