Judge Armstrong when the poor have sought your aid	A
To be released from vows that they have made	A
In haste and leisurely repented you	B
As stern as Rhadamanthus Minos too	B
And AEeacus have drawn your fierce brows down	C
And petrified them with a moral frown	C
With iron faced rigor you have made them run	D
The gauntlet of publicity each Hun	D
Or Vandal of the public press allowed	E
To throw their households open to the crowd	E
And bawl their secret bickerings aloud	E
When Wealth before you suppliant appears	F
Bang go the doors and open fly your ears	F
The blinds are drawn the lights diminished burn	G
Lest eyes too curious should look and learn	G
That gold refines not sweetens not a life	H
Of conjugal brutality and strife	H
That vice is vulgar though it gilded shine	I
Upon the curve of a judicial spine	I
The veiled complainant's whispered evidence	J
The plain collusion and the no defense	K
The sealed exhibits and the secret plea	L
The unrecorded and unseen decree	L
The midnight signature and chink chink chink	M
Nay pardon upright Judge I did but think	M
I heard that sound abhorred of honest men	N
No doubt it was the scratching of your pen	N
	-
O California long enduring land	O
Where Judges fawn upon the Golden Hand	O
Proud of such service to that rascal thing	P
As slaves would blush to render to a king	P
Judges of judgment destitute and heart	Q
Of conscience conscious only by the smart	Q
From the recoil so insight is enlarged	R
Of duty accidentally discharged	R
Invoking still a 'song o' sixpence' from	S
The Scottish fiddle of each lusty palm	T
Thy Judges California skilled to play	U
This silent music through the livelong day	U
Perform obsequious before the rich	V
And still the more they scratch the more they itch	V
