I come to chastise Sarah Palin, not to praise her;

The evil that men do lives after them,

The good is oft interred with their bones,

So let it be with Palin ... The noble Press

Hath told you Palin was ambitious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Palin answered it

Here, under leave of pundits and the rest,

For the Press is an honourable institution;

So are they all; all honourable institutions

Come I to speak in Palin's task

She was my friend, faithful and just to me:

But the Press says she was ambitious;

And the Press is an honourable institution

She hath brought many officials home to roam,

Whose earmarks did the local coffers fill:

Did this in Palin seem ambitious?

When the poor of  Haiti have cried, Palin hath wept:

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet the Press says she was ambitious;

And the Press is an honourable institution.
