THE C O U R T OF C H A N C E R Y: A Satirical Poem. ————— BY REGINALD JAMES BLEWITT, LATE OF LINCOLNS INN. ————— When knaves and fools combined o’er all prevail, When justice halts, and right begins to fail; E’en then the boldest start from public sneers, Afraid of shame, unknown to other fears; More darkly sin, by satire kept in awe, And shrink from ridicule, if not from law. Byron.
