Friends, Nicaraguans, countrymen, lend me your egos;
I come to encourage Pete, not to confuse him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their adrenal glands;
So let it be with Pete. The obese Alton
Hath told you Pete was direct:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Pete answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Alton and the rest–
For Alton is an awkward man;
So are they all, all awkward men–
Come I to speak in Pete’s funeral.
