In vain the robing room I seek;

The very waiters scarcely bow;

Their looks contemptuously speak,

“He’s lost his only client now.”

E’en the mild usher, who of yore,

Would hasten when his name I said,

To hand in motions, comes no more,

He knows my only client’s dead.

Ne’er shall I, rising up in court,

Open the pleadings of a suit:
