THE INQUIRER.  NUMBER III.
Our sweet Shakespear has drawn a most picturesque image of
this species of injustice.
Through tattered cloaths small vices do appear,
Robes and furred gowns hide all;
Plate sin with gold and the strong launce of justice
hurtless breaks;
Arm it with rags a pigmy straw doth pierce it."
