Gravedigger 1:
I am the very model of a handy Danish gravedigger,
I've arguments on death and life and if we really can be sure,
If men are guilty if they're drowned or whether it was accident
And whether if one hangs oneself a crowner knows it's really meant.

I puzzle other gravediggers with wit and merry ribaldry
But somehow I suspect that they pay no heed to philosophy
That Hamlet might appreciate my sagacity, my thus-and-so ---
Alas, he's too concerned with that attractive youth Horatio.

What? It's not by Shakespeare...
