- Once Law was sitting on the bench, And Mercy knelt a-weeping. “Clear out!” he cried, “disordered wench! Nor come before me creeping. Upon your knees if you appear, ’Tis plain your have no standing here.”
- Then Justice came. His Honor cried: “Your status? — devil seize you!” “Amica curiae,” she replied — “Friend of the court, so please you.” “Begone!” he shouted — “there’s the door — I never saw your face before!”
