From immoderate fines and defamation,
From Braddon’s merciless subornation,
And from a bar of assassination,
Libera nos, Domine.
From a body that’s English, a mind that is French,
From a Lawyer that scolds like an oyster wench,
And from the new Bonner upon the Bench,
Libera nos, Domine, &c.
The Poor Man’s Litany.
