8. ON SEEING A DECENT-LOOKING YOUNG WOMAN COME DOWN A STAIRCASE IN CLEMENT'S-INN:
A Parody of Jane Shore's Speech. Act 1st. Scene the last.
Yes! Man, that lawless libertine, may sinIn ev'ry corner of St. Clement's-Inn.
But Woman! if she clamber in the dark
The vice-worn staircase of some lawyer's clerk,
A writ of error blots her spotless name;
A habeas corpus ever damns her fame.
