Read the passage from act v of hamlet.

laertes: must there no more be done?

first priest: no more be done:
we should profane the service of the dead,
to sing a requiem, and such rest to her
as to peace-parted souls.

laertes: lay her i’ the earth;
and from her fair and unpolluted flesh
may violets spring! i tell thee, churlish priest,
a ministering angel shall my sister be,
when thou liest howling.
