ADVICE TO A YOUNG LAWYER.
BY HON. JOSEPH STORY.

BY HON. JOSEPH STORY.
Stands not on eloquence, but stands on laws
Pregnant in matter in expression brief,
Let every sentence stand with bold relief;
On trifirg points no time, nor talents waste,
A sad offence to learning and to taste;
Nor deal with pompous phrase, nor e'er suppose
Poetic flights belong to reasoning prose.
Loose defamation may deceive the crowd,
And seem more striking as it grows more loud
But sober sense reject it with disdain,
AS nought but empty noise, and weak, as vain.
The froth of words, the schoolboys vain parade
OF books and cases, all his stock in trade
The pert conceits, the cunning tricks and play
or low Attorneys, strung III long array,
The unseemIy Jest, the petulant reply,
That chatters on, and cares not how, or why.
Studious, avoid-unworthy themes to scan,
They sink the Speaker and debase the Man.
Like the false lights, by flying shadows cast.
Scarce seen when present, and forgot when past.
Begin with dignity; expound with grace
Each ground of reasoning in It's proper place;
Let order reign throughout-each topic touch,
Nor urge its power too little, or too much.
Give each strong thought its most attractive view
In diction clear, and yet severely true.
And, as the arguments in splendor grow,
Let each reflect its light on all below,
When TO the close arrived, make no delays
BY petty louriShes, or verbal plays,
But sum the whole in one deep, solemn strain,
Like a strong current Fastening to the Main.

its free inhabitants never amounting TO thirty thou
