A version that's a little easier to parse:

I renounce wholeheartedly in this extreme oath of renunciation that which I reject so strongly uncompromisingly unrepentant unforgiving and stubborn I renounce with unwavering politeness in this solemn refutation this most earnest rejection I shall not invalidate that which I state irreversibly but I state it so gently that you cannot resent me for this humble request of my company so with time left permitting and while we're still sitting may I please have another cup of tea?
