There is a quote about a politican buried with much ceremony and a man who weeps because the politician was not hung. I’ve been searching the Web for it without any luck.
Epitaph on the Politician
HILAIRE BELLOC
Here richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician’s corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.
