IV. _The Lawyer._

The Law my calling is, my robe, my tongue, my pen,

Wealth and opinion gaine, and make me Iudge of men.

The knowne dishonest cause, I neuer did defend,

Nor spun out sutes in length, but wisht and sought an end:

Nor counsell did bewray, nor of both parties take,

Nor euer tooke I fee for which I neuer spake.
