Why should Honesty seek any safer retreat
From the lawyers or barges, odd-rot-'em?
For the lawyers are just at the top of the street,
And the barges are just at the bottom!

Samuel Warren, though able, yet vainest of men,
Could he guide with discretion his tongue and his pen,
His course would be clear for—"Ten Thousand a Year,"
But limited else to a brief—"Now and Then."
