And turn their certain hundreds in a crack.
Let not morality decry their game,
Their heavy bets and calculations clear
For Justice self has patronised the same
Although to Justice many have paid dear.
Nor you, ye tradesmen, murmur or complain,
If when ye ask for cash, ye’re told to wait,
Nor dare to dun, nor importune again,
Tho’ ’twere to save you from starvation’s fate.
