"YOUR Client had better a compromise make,"
Said the Judge; "will you ask her, Sir, what she will take?"
Very deaf the old dame, so the Counsel drew near,
Bawling, "What will you take, asks my lord," in her ear;
"Take?" replied she, "how exceedingly kind!
Say, a glass of warm ale, if his Lordship's inclin'd."
