And leave him at the mercy of that lawless set

Who fatten upon unfortunates suddenly thrown in debt.

Nearly all your laws for the collection of dues

Into our commercial life dishonesty infuse.

Your regulations of homestead, exemption and stay

Simply postpone our troubles to another day.

By intricate trials with their writs and pleas;

And copious objections about titles and fees,

Remainders absolute, contingent and entailed,

Upon technicalities numberless justice is impaled;
