The Bystander. Letter 3. . . [1 1/2 column] Were we to
hear these two sages of the law complimenting each other, it
would be as comic a scene as that described by the poet:
The courts, of late, two brother lawyers saw,
Who deem'd each other oracles of law;
Each had a gravity would make you split,
And hated the Bystander as a wit;
"Twas, sir--your law, and, sir, your eloquence,"
"Yours, Chatham's manner; and yours, Camden's Sense."
. . . [7 lines] What awkward attempts at wit! Somewhat
like an elephant's dancing a jig! . . .
