 | Festum Uoluptatis, Or the Banquet of Pleasure |  |
The honest Lawyer.
Sprightly (my Muse) speak like the son of thunder,And with a full mouth ring out Albions wonder:
No Sussex Dragon, no Virginian,
But of a Lawyer that's an honest man,
Whose definition (if you wish to know)
Is a blak Swan, faire Moore, or milke-white Crow;
He takes no fees till he conceives the cause,
Nor with an oyly bribe annoints his jawes;
He wants the use of feeling, feares heav'ns curse,
Strings not his conscience with his Clyents purse.
