On a bribed Judge
Two parties had a difference, and the cause
Did come to be decided by the lawes.
The bribing Plaintiff did the Judge present
With a new coach; T'other with same intent,
Gives him two horses; each with like design,
To make the Judge to his own side incline
The cause being try'd, the Plantiff's overthrown,
O coach (quoth he) thou art the wrong way gone;
The Judge replide, It cannot but be so;
For where his horses draw, your coach must go.
