Question
Fame is a food that dead men eat,
I have no stomach for such meat.
In little light and narrow room,

He lives in memory of his friend,
Who doth his better part recall,
And of his fault make funeral.

The detail conveyed in the lines "With no kind voice of comrade near / To bid the feaster be of cheer" suggests that once a person dies, no one is there to offer support or companionship. The emphasis is on the loneliness and lack of camaraderie in death, indicating that the relationships and cheers that might have existed in life come to an end. Therefore, the correct interpretation would be: **Once a person, however famous, dies, the relationship ends as there is no one to cheer for.**
