The Palace Court had marked him for its own.

Large was his practice, as his age could reach,

And large his recompense, as well could be;

He gave to juries all he had—a speech,

He gained from clients all he wished—a fee.

No longer seek his merits to disclose,

Or draw his blunders from this prison dark;

Where cheek by jowl, they lovingly repose,

The bosoms of the Attorney and his clerk.
