How could you get proof without trying us?

You went through the preliminary form,

Stopped there, contrived this sentence to amuse

The adversary. If the title ran

For more than fault imputed and not proved,

That was a simple penman's error, else

A slip i' the phrase,—as when we say of you

"Charged with injustice"—which may either be

Or not be,—'t is a name that sticks meanwhile.

Another relevant matter: fool that I am!
