To be or not to be that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fotune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a conummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause

Funeral Poem by WH AUDEN.
(as read by Mathew in Four Weddings and a Funeral)
Stop all the clocks, cut of the telephone
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone
Silence all the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin let the morners come
~
Let the aeroplanes circle over head
Scribbling in the sky the message he is dead
Put crepe bows around the necks of the public doves
Let traffic policeman wear black cotton gloves
~
He was my north, my south, my east, my west
My working week and my sunday rest
My room, my midnight, my talk, my song
I thought that love would last forever I was wrong
~
The stars are not wanted now, put out everyone
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood
'Cause nothing there will ever come to any good
~
