To lessen human misery, not to swell

The mournful sum, already all-too-great.

If, as thy former counsel should imply,

Thou art not one who would for his craft’s sake

Fret with corrosives and inflame the wound,

Which the poor sufferer brings to thee in trust

That thou with virtuous balm will bind it up, ...

If, as I think, thou art not one of those

Whose villainy makes honest men turn Moors,

Thou then wilt answer with unbiass’d mind
