[Law bears the name, but money has the power]
Law bears the name, but money has the power.The cause is bad whene'er the client 's poor.
Those strict-lived men, who seem above our world,
Are oft too modest to resist our gold;
So judgment like our other wares is sold.
And the grave knight, that nods upon the laws,
Waked by a fee, hems and approves the cause.
