And into courthouse he wended his way,
Just as an attorney, with very grave face,
Was proceeding to argue the points Of q ease; =
Now, a lawyer his majesty never had seen as
For to his dominions none ever had been,
And he felt very curious the reason to know,
Why none had been sent to the regions below.
Twas The fault his agents, his majesty thought
Why none of these lawyers had ever been eau hit,
And for his own pleasure, had DESIRE
To come to the earth, and the reason inquire.
Well, the lawyer who rose with a visace so grave.
Made out his opponent a consumhate knaye;
And the devil was really greatly amused,
TO hear the attorney so greatly abused
As soon as the speaker had come to close,
The counsel opposing them iercely arose,
And heaped such abuse on the head Of the first
And made him q villain, of all men the worst.
Thus they quarreled contended and argued so lone
Twas hard to determine the one that was wrono.
And concluding he d heard quite enough of the
fuss, Z" 1-.st
Old Nick turned away, and soliloquized thus:

For these lawyers would turn the morals of hell.
''Theyl have puzzled the court with their villain
