That what I utter is an honest word,

A plain, blunt, honest and straightforward word,

Neither adorned with worthless flummery

And tricks of language—for I have no learning—

Nor yet with false and empty rhetoric

Like lawyers' speeches. I am not a lawyer,

I thank my stars that I am not a lawyer,

And can without a spate of parleying

Briefly expound, as I am doing now,

The whole caboodle. As for this here Bill,
