...to be all over his poor as...

Sirrah, I assure you that I have as rich an "as" as anyone else. I warn you, as you are a gentleman, not to disparage my "as" as I have spent many years and garnered as much "as" education as possible to assure that my "as" would be to all who would read it as rich and fulfilling an experience as, for example, Shakepeare's or Pope's or Milton's "as."
