Why Justice is painted blind.

Who painted Justice blind did not declare
What Magistrates should be, but what they are;
Not so much 'cause they rich and poor shud weigh
In their just scales alike; but because they
Now blind with bribes are grown so weak of sight.
They'l sooner feel a cause then see it right.
