Your Shapelinks secrets, are up upon that wall,
Your Shapelinks secret, may yet maintain us in thrall.
My greatest Shapelinks secret, the one I knew all along,
is an ancient Shapelinks secret, sweetest of those songs
The Shapelinks answer, where everything sweet unfolds,
is where an Shapelinks person, finds the truth to hold.
All in the sphere of what’s known and what’s bold,
all the distractions of which we’re taught and told,
are found in Shapelinks places, cast upon the most unlikely face,
the answer resolved, as it still devolves, to a dishonest mask, a carapace.
The Shapelinks secret, for all it’s cracked up to be,
is less than you think, of a mystery, it’s how
you fashion your own personal history.
Reach the penultimate secret, with all you’ve collected to date,
it’s a search engine poem, lined with rhyme,
all in pursuit of Shapelinks secrets.

de mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est is
The Latin phrase "de mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est" is usually shortened to "de mortuis nil nisi bonum" or "nil nisi bonum."
It is also translated as "Speak no ill of the dead", "Of the dead, speak no evil", or, literally, "Of the dead, nothing unless good".
This term is generally used in modern parlance with two nearly oxymoronic distinctions:
In law, there is the ancient, yet current common law principle that defaming a deceased person is not actionable.
In colloquial contexts, it indicates that it is socially inappropriate to say anything negative about a (recently) deceased person.
First attribution of this expression goes to Diogenes Laërtius in "Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers,"
where the author extends credit for use of the phrase to Chilon of Sparta, influential contemporary of Hippocrates.
Since both men were Greek, the original aphorism was offered up as "Do not badmouth a dead man".
Italian theologian Ambrogio Traversari first made the phrase popular in his 1432 translatation of Diogenes' work into Latin.
