On reason's score, Perhaps 't is equally a sin to get Too deep in love, in liquor, or in debt.
in.
The lady of his love, Miss Mary Blank, (I call her so to hide her real name,) Was fair and twenty, and in social rank, — That is, in riches, — much above her " flame " ; The daughter of a person who had tin, Already won ; while Jack had his to win.
IV.
Her father was a lawyer ; rather rusty In legal lore, but one who well had striven In former days to swell his " res anguatce" To broad possessions...; and, in short, had thriven LOVE AND LAW. 77 Bravely in his vocation ; though, the fact is, More by his "practices" ('twas said) tlian practice !
V.
A famous man was Blank for sound advice In doubtful cases ; for example, where • The point in question is extremely nice, And turns upon the section of a hair ; Or where — which seems a very common bother — Justice looks oiae way, and the Law another.
VI.
