LAWYERS, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Lawyers themselves uphold the commonweal Last Line: "they always have great store of charity / and love they want not, keeping amity" Subject(s): Law & Lawyers | |||
Lawyers themselves uphold the commonweal. They punish those who offend and steal. They free with cunning art the innocent From danger, loss and causeless punishment. They can but will not keep the world in awe With misexpounded and distended law. They always have great store of charity And love they want not, keeping amity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JAKE MANN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SIX POETS IN SEATCH OF A LAWYER by DONALD HALL ANY AND ALL by LAWRENCE JOSEPH DOMESDAY BOOK: JANE FISHER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS DOMESDAY BOOK: THE GOVERNOR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE LAWYERS KNOW TOO MUCH by CARL SANDBURG TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
