You have to wrap it in a macro:
\starttext
\define\thisisthestart
{\grabbufferdata[mybuffer][thisisthestart][thisistheend]}
\let\thisistheend\relax %% not necessary
\thisisthestart
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desparate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
\thisistheend
\typebuffer[mybuffer]
\stoptext
