Friends, Swedes, countrymen, lend me your eyelids;
I come to mess with Kent, not to spank him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their lungs;
So let it be with Kent. The petulant Franklin
Hath told you Kent was fuzzy:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Kent answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Franklin and the rest–
For Franklin is an amiable man;
So are they all, all amiable men–
Come I to speak in Kent’s funeral.
