Fun with Global Find and Replace
Friends, Discovery Channel viewers, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury the Crocodile Hunter, not to praise him;
The croc-hunting that men do lives after them,
The sting-ray-swiming is oft interréd with their bones,
So let it be with The Crocodile Hunter….
The noble Larry King
Hath told you the Crocodile Hunter was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath the Crocodile Hunter answered it….
Here, under leave of Larry King and the rest,
(For Larry King is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in the Crocodile Hunter's funeral….
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Larry King says he was ambitious;
And Larry King is an honourable man….
He hath brought many captives home to Australia,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in the Crocodile Hunter seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, the Crocodile Hunter hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Larry King says he was ambitious;
And Larry King is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Discovery Channel
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Larry King says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man
I speak not to disprove what Larry King spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason….
Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with the Crocodile Hunter,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
