<p class="poetry"><span class="smcap">Now</span>, Jurymen, hear
my advice—<br/>
All kinds of vulgar prejudice<br/>
I pray you set aside:<br/>
With stern judicial frame of mind—<br/>
From bias free of every kind,<br/>
This trial must be tried!</p>
<p class="poetry">Oh, listen to the plaintiff’s case:<br/>
Observe the features of her face—<br/>
The broken-hearted bride!<br/>
Condole with her distress of mind—<br/>
From bias free of every kind,<br/>
This trial must be tried!</p>
<p class="poetry">And when amid the plaintiff’s shrieks,<br
/>
The ruffianly defendant speaks—<br/>
Upon the other side;<br/>
What <i>he</i> may say you need not mind—<br/>
From bias free of every kind,<br/>
This trial must be tried!</p>
