That scorns the eye of vulgar light,

Begins to bloom for sons of night,

And bhoys who love the moon.

’Twas but to guard these hours of shade

Let not its penal clauses glowing

Set all mine honest friends agoing.

Oh! stay,—oh! stay,—

Law so seldom weaves a chain

Like this, so tight, that oh! ’tis plain
