Any smiling countenance before a corpse is either stupid or suspicious; countenance speaks louder than words.

A corpse is an empty vessel that makes no noise; it is dead silent.

What on earth will appetize a man to die for something bitter if there are no benefits? Else people will curse his corpse for dying foolishly when the world abounds with sweet things to die for.

Adjectives notwithstanding, corpse is corpse, be they of bishops or of corps. The cause of death is past tense, be it hiccups or wallops. What they left behind is gossip, be they cups or shops. What has cropped up is; bury the corpse.
