"Vicious" and "venomous" yourself you styled:
I cannot grant you either one of those.
Venom I’ve seen, and you weren’t even close--
And vices shone as virtues when you smiled.
Not that your manner was exactly mild:
Magnificent was your disdain for those
Who well deserved a boot upside the nose,
And woe betide the man who got you riled.
But equal was your love to your high rage:
For piercing wit, huge heart and honest eye
The world holds not your equal now, my dear.
And idiots both on and off the stage
Will breathe a cowardly, ignoble sigh
Of poor relief, because you are not here.
