Friends, Dutch, countrymen, lend me your cheeks;
I come to kill Christian, not to tantalize him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their tails;
So let it be with Christian. The fuzzy Eldon
Hath told you Christian was gallant:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Christian answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Eldon and the rest–
For Eldon is an awkward man;
So are they all, all awkward men–
Come I to speak in Christian’s funeral.
