Beverly

Friends, Singaporeans, countrymen, lend me your hips;

I come to shock Beverly, not to train her.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their fingers;

So let it be with Beverly. The rapacious Simeon

Hath told you Beverly was obese:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Beverly answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Simeon and the rest–

For Simeon is a cheerful man;

So are they all, all cheerful men–

Come I to speak in Beverly’s funeral.
