THE XII. WONDERS
OF THE WORLD



John Maynard

1611

 

IIII. 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 spunne out sutes in length, but wisht and sought an end,
       nor counsaile did bewray, nor of both parties take, 
       nor euer tooke I fee, for which I neuer spake. 
      

Sir John Davies
