The JUDGE.

I will cut off the Judge from the Midst thereof.

Amos ii. 3.

You who false Judgment do pronounce,

For filthy Lucre’s Sake,

From Midst of Crowds and Judgment-Seat,

I, Death, will quickly take.

To Fate’s just Laws ye must submit,

Nor ye, alone, contest

That pow’r which every Son of Man

Has hitherto confest.
