EPIGRAM LX.
[Women, it seems, whoe'er pay scot and lot]
Κρυσεα χαλκειων.
Women, it seems, whoe'er pay scot and lot,
May serve church-wardens, overseers—what not?
For so in solemn sort the Courts aver'd,
Term. Hil. the 28th of George the Third.—
O! Lawyers! Lawyers! who such suits abet,
Think what you hazard for the fees you get!
The very arguments you now devise,
In time to come, against yourselves may rise!
And prove, as well equipp'd for wordy war,
A Bench of Grannums—and a Female Bar!
