Hath this extent; no more. Rude am I in speech,
And little blessed with the set Commons’ phrase;
For since these hands of mine held Roger’s brief
Till now by Stoke elected, they have used
Their dearest action in that troubled field;
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to bearding judge and jury,
And therefore shall I little grace my cause
In speaking of myself. Yet, by your gracious patience,
I will the round unvarnished tale deliver
