By proving guilt in all gradations,

In style of Euclid’s demonstrations.

To crown our cheap mode of conviction

By ready punishment’s infliction,

The rabblement will string up gratis

The convicts of our apparatus.

By said machine and foresaid books,

Rogues, stigmatized with hanging looks,

We whip and kick and hang ad libitum,

Or take the liberty to gibbet ’em.
