“Was it for this you took your sudden journey,

Under pretence of business indispensable

With that sublime of rascals your attorney,

Whom I see standing there, and looking sensible

Of having played the fool? though both I spurn, he

Deserves the worst, his conduct’s less defensible,

Because, no doubt, ’twas for his dirty fee,

And not from any love to you nor me.
