Good judges in the law are they
Of Sherry, Claret, and Tokay,
And when their lordships deign to joke,
And banish Lyttleton and Coke,
They order that the best old Port
Shall henceforth be a rule of court;
That care shall be the fate of asses,
Their only circuits be of glasses;
And vow, 'midst clattering peals and thumpers,
To charge no juries save in bumpers.
So happy on such TERMS as these,
They seem a court of common _please_,
And wish, the toils of life to soften,
That such RETURNS would come more often.
