The pangs of declined credit, the lawyer’s threats,

The insolence of agents, and the frequent calls

Impatient tradesmen make to get their money

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare petition? Who would fardels bear

To groan and sweat under this weary strife,

But that the dread of something after failure,—

The discontented lawyer from whose clutch

No debtor ’ere escapes,—puzzles the will;

And makes us rather hear the bills we have
