LAWYER.

Proud am I to say,That no one can these arts displayBetter than he who stands before ye.—Thus, then, I now resume my story :—A Lawyer ought to take delight inAll kinds of broils, abuse, and fighting ;For, few things likelier are to fillHis pocket than a swingeing bill,Obtain'd through any civil action,When parties, seeking satisfaction,Go to the Bench or Common Pleas—For clever Lawyers there, with ease,Get fame, as well as lots of fees!He should no legal mode neglect,The public's follies to correct;By this I mean, a good tacticianShould fearlessly perform his mission,Nor suffer any threadbare maxim'Bout want of honesty to tax him-

DEATH.

Hold ! hold !—for Honesty's abus'd,Whene'er the word'a by Lawyers us'd.I've heard enough!—so, come with me.
