Alone from Jargon born to rescue Law,
From precedent, grave hum, and formal saw!
To strip chicanery of its vain pretence,
And marry Common Law to Common Sense!

Turn parson, Colman, that’s the way to thrive;
Your parsons are the happiest men alive.

The Law-Student (1762)

True Genius, like Armida’s wand,
Can raise the spring from barren land.
While all the art of Imitation,
Is pilf’ring from the first creation.

Shakespeare (1762)
