( 6 ) For now I mut own thou art

a better men than I;

'Twas in thy power to tay me

upon the mountains high.

Half of my lands and living

Likewie my iter, iter Sarah

thy wedded wife hall be,

Becaue thou us'd me kindly

upon the mountains high.

 

THE BRIBED LAWYERS.

near, good people,and I'll acquaint you,

how roguery doth overpread the land;

Great part of murder, of theft and robbery

the found is bribery whereon they tand.

For plants of murder, of theft and robbery,

the bribed Lawyers are fruitful oil;

Manure them well with unjut judges,

you'll have great increae for little toil.

If Jutice rie up as weeds among them,

you need no hows for to how't away;

The trong manure and the oil unfitting,

will kill it dead in a deep decay.

When Jutice at on her throne in plendor,

all honet hearts in her did rejoice!

Uurping roguery has there dethron'd her,

and for their King he's the Lawyers' choice.
