It is their job, and you and I of course,

Cannot dictate to them what laws to enforce.

To criticise the courts as the newspapers do

Might put us in contempt, the same as you

In some cases where you had to keep out of view;

Or run a lively race to keep yourself out of jail

By hanging on to some big lawyer’s coat-tail.

About your courts I will simply suggest

That whatever might be done I deem it best

Of the things we might do, get judges true,
