ABSTRACT
Once (says an Author, \vhere, I need not say) Two Trav'lers found an Oyster in their Way; Both fierce, both hungry, the Dispute grew strong, While, Scale in Hand, Dame Justice past along. Before her each \vith Clamour pleads the Laws) 5 Explain'd the Matter, and would win the Cause; Dame Justice, weighing long the doubtful Right, Takes, opens, swallows it, before their Sight. The (~ause of Strife remov'd so rarely well, 1'here, take (says Justice) take ye each a Shell. 10 We thrive at Westlninster on Fools like you, 'Twas a fat Oyster---Live in Peace---Adieu.
