Alemore[106] the judgment as illegal blames;
‘’Tis equity, you bitch,’ replies my Lord Kames.[107]
‘This cause,’ cries Hailes,[108] ‘to judge I can’t pretend,
For justice, I perceive, wants an e at the end.’
Lord Coalstoun[109] expressed his doubts and his fears;
And Strichen[110] threw in his weel-weels and oh dears.
‘This cause much resembles the case of Mac-Harg,
And should go the same way,’ says Lordie Barjarg.[111]
‘Let me tell you, my lords, this cause is no joke!’
Says, with a horse-laugh, my Lord Elliock.[112]
