And, if the Law must have so clean a fame

That none can point to where a speck of dust is,

A single bathroom cannot meet the claim

Of equitable Justice.

My wants are modest, you will please remark;

I crave no vintage of the Champagne zone,

No stalled chargers neighing for the Park,

No 9·5 cigars (I have my own);

I do not ask, who am the flower of thrift,

For Orient-rugs or "Persian apparatus";
