And now, and again, it dealt him, a stagger of nasty knocks;
Acquaintances there subpœnad, identification swore,
And others, who sneaked the keyhole, of sitting apartment door.

A fig for his indignation, a jot for his injured look,
The jury, and judge, decided the damage, and costs, to be
Three thousand pounds, to the client of Writ MacFee, Q.C.
