HEN I went to the Bar as a very young man (Said I to myself—said I), I'll work on a new and original plan
 * (Said I to myself—said I),

I'll never assume that a rogue or a thief Is a gentleman worthy implicit belief, Because his attorney has sent me a brief
 * (Said I to myself—said I!).

I'll never throw dust in a juryman's eyes
 * (Said I to myself—said I),

Or hoodwink a judge who is not over-wise
 * (Said I to myself—said I),
