Sly

I am Christophero Sly; call not me 'honor' nor 'lordship.'
I ne'er drank sack in my life, and if you give me any
conserves, give me conserves of beef. Ne'er ask me what
raiment I'll wear, for I have no more doublets than backs,     
no more stockings than legs, nor no more shoes than feet —
nay, sometimes more feet than shoes, or such shoes as
my toes look through the overleather.
