LEGAL LYRICS.

POETRY.

Atn —" John Cr RlMlly the Active."
Oh.! think not your pleadings arc really so sly, .
And as free from a flaw a. they seem to you now ;
Fur, believe, A demurrer will certainly lie,—
The Temp of to-morrow will quickly *hew how :
No, all is a waste of impertinent nutting,
Which seldom produces but quibble., and broils;
And the lawyer, wito thinks he's the nicest in pliseing,
Is likeliest far to be caught in its toils.
But, brother attorney ! how happy are we!
Al ay we never ,nett w•.-n in our ',Tactic:. of law,
Than the flaw a demurrer ran gild with a fee.
And the tee that a 'conscience can earn from a flaw !

our doors would 'not often be dark, on my soul!
It Equity did not to law lend its aid:
Aiitl I care not how soon I am struck otf the roll,
When I for these blessings shall tease to he paid
Dot they who have fought ,or the weak: At or strobgest,
Too often hive wept tasr the credit they pave ;
Even he, alio has shinitsced in Chancery longest,
Is hanpy it always his cosastii; can !'.3Ve
liut. my brother it, /ma! while a quarre.nog germ
Is in man Cr in womatt, this pray'r shall be ours,
That actions-m.lm may employ Wry term,
And equity-suit:: cheer vaeatii•nat hours !
