Deny, with loudest imprecations:

They'll throng the court with attestations

"Such honesty—before all men—

None e'er had yet, nor will again!"

Confession make on no pretence,

Save turning round King's evidence;

(I don't suppose, though, aught I say

Will save your neck another day,)

Your noble spirit, never vex it,

But make a sentimental exit!
