Friends, Kosovoans, countrymen, lend me your spines;
I come to neglect Lindsay, not to operate on her.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their mouths;
So let it be with Lindsay. The haughty Hendrick
Hath told you Lindsay was radiant:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Lindsay answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Hendrick and the rest–
For Hendrick is a puzzled man;
So are they all, all puzzled men–
Come I to speak in Lindsay’s funeral.
