Othello., Act I. Scene III.
——:o:——
The Strolling Player’s Apology.
Most potent, gay, irreverend signiors,
My very noble and approv’d good fellows;
That I have been a vagrant strolling player,
It is most true; true, I have been a mummer;
The very head and front of my profession,
Hath this extent; no more. Loud am I in speech,
And little bless’d with the smooth phrase of towns;
