The Bard

77aa. Shakespeare, Julius Caesar 

ANTONY:

Friends, Brittons, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury the Prime Minister, not to praise her.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with the Prime Minister.

The noble Lord Byron
Hath told you the Prime Minister was licentious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath the Prime Minister answer'd it.

Here, under leave of Lord Byron and the rest--
For Lord Byron is an honest man;
So are they all, all honest men--
Come I to speak in the Prime Minister's funeral.
She was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Lord Byron says she was licentious;
And Lord Byron is an honest man.

She hath brought many capitalists home to London
Whose economy profited from this?
Did this in the Prime Minister seem licentious?
When that the poor have cried, the Prime Minister hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Lord Byron says she was licentious;
And Lord Byron is an honest man.

You all did hear in the testimony that
Lord Byron thrice did assault her maidenhead.
And she did thrice refuse: was this licentiousness?

Yet Lord Byron says she was licentious;
And, sure, he is an honest man.

I speak not to disprove what Lord Byron spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all did love her once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for her?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with the Prime Minister,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

First Citizen:  Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.

At some point, Jordan remarked something about LB. being a friend of the PM of the England.

939. As originally drafted, Paragraph 6 of the affidavit stated: "In the course of my employment at the 10 Downing Street, I met with the Prime Minister on several occasions. I do not recall ever being alone with the Prime Minister, although it is possible that while working in the 10 Downing Street Office of Legislative Affairs I may have presented her with a letter for her signature while no one else was present. This would only have lasted a few minutes and would not have been a private meeting, that is, not behind closed doors.(940) This was never filed.  But, it indicates Lord Byron may have thought of making false statements; therefore, we can convince you that not only did he then proceed to make false statements but it must be all the Prime Minister's fault.
