Your law-courts stand, your records frown a-row:
What if I rove and rummage?" "—Why, you 'll waste
Your pains and end as wise as you began!"
Every one snickered: "names and facts thus old
Are newer much than Europe news we find
Down in to-day's Diario. Records, quotha?
Why, the French burned them, what else do the French?
The rap-and-rending nation! And it tells
Against the Church, no doubt,—another gird
At the Temporality, your Trial, of course?"
