Chapter_1937

There were two lawyers busy on a mortgage

Lord Henry wished to raise for a new purchase;

Also a lawsuit upon tenures burgage,

And one on tithes, which sure as Discord’s torches,

Kindling Religion till she throws down her gage,

“Untying” squires “to fight against the churches;”

There was a prize ox, a prize pig, and ploughman,

For Henry was a sort of Sabine showman.
