MARCUS BIGNEY
Here comes Fantasy Flight's body, mourned by Michael Walker: who,
though he had no hand in its death, shall receive
the benefit of its dying, a place in the
hobby; as which of you shall not?

WALKER
Friends, gamers, hobbyists, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Fantasy Flight, not to praise it.
The evil that publishers do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Fantasy Flight. The noble Bigney
Hath told you FFG was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath FFG answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Bigney and the rest--
For Bigney is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
Come I to speak in FFG's funeral.
It was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Bigney says it was ambitious;
And Bigney is an honourable man.
It hath published many games home to Rome
Whose playing did the gaming public thrill:
Did this in FFG seem ambitious?
When that the games were broken, FFG hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Bigney says it was ambitious;
And Bigney is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Bigney spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love it once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for it?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin box there with expansions,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
