No! I am not Prince Hamlet， nor was meant to be；  
Am an attendant lord， one that will do  
To swell a progress， start a scene or two  
Advise the prince； no doubt， an easy tool，  
Deferential， glad to be of use，  
Politic， cautious， and meticulous，  
Full of high sentence， but a bit obtuse；

What does the first line show about the speaker？
