OF THE
COURT OF CHANCERY.
I looked and I saw a wizard rise,
With a wig like a cloud, before men's eyes;
In his aged hand he held a wand,
Wherewith he beckoned his embryo band;
And they ' moved' and ' moved' as he waved it o'er,
But they never got on one inch the more:
And still they kept limping to and fro,
Like Ariels round old Prospero,
Saying, 'Dear Master, let us go;'
But still old Prospero answered ' No!'
And I heard the while that wizard elf
Murmuring. murmuring spells to himself;
While over as many old papers he turn'd
As Hume e'er moved for, or Omar burn'd:
He talked of his virtue; though some, less nice,
(He owned, with a sigh) preferred his vice:
And he said,-- I think- I doubt - I hope,'
Called God to witness, and damned the Pope;
With many more sleights of tongue and hand,
I couldn't, for the soul of me, understand.
BY
THE HON. WILLIAM LONG WELLESLEY.

LONDON :
JAMES RIDGWAY, PICCADILLY.
