Michaelangelo

Friends, Chileans, countrymen, lend me your noses;

I come to date Michaelangelo, not to appease him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their biceps;

So let it be with Michaelangelo. The wicked Warren

Hath told you Michaelangelo was hairy:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Michaelangelo answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Warren and the rest–

For Warren is a mournful man;

So are they all, all mournful men–

Come I to speak in Michaelangelo’s funeral.
