Friends, Georgians, countrymen, lend me your big toes;
I come to expose Russ, not to ostracize him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their feet;
So let it be with Russ. The agitated Magdalena
Hath told you Russ was idiotic:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Russ answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Magdalena and the rest–
For Magdalena is an enthusiastic woman;
So are they all, all enthusiastic women–
Come I to speak in Russ’s funeral.
