"Here Justice triumphs in his elbow chair,
And makes his market of the trading fair;
His office shelves with parish laws are grac'd,
But spelling-books and guides between 'em plac'd.[97]
Here pregnant madam screens the real sire,
And falsely swears her bastard child for hire
Upon a rich old leecher, who denies
The fact, and vows the naughty hussif lies.
His wife enrag'd, exclaims against her spouse,
And swears she'll be reveng'd upon his brows;
