[When Conjurers their Purses draw]

[When Conjurers their Purses draw]

When Conjurers their Purses draw,
And like two Blockheads go to Law;
They show by such Expensive VVars,
There's little VVisdom in the Stars;
And that they Act, who know the Heavens,
Like us, by Sixes, and by Sevens;
For if one VVizard had foreseen,
The other should the Battle win,
He'd cry'd Peccavi, and not come
Before a Judge to know his Doom;
I think from thence the VVorld may see,
They know by th'Stars no more than we.
