A GOOD HINT.

A Fox may steal your hens, Sir,
A whore your health and pence, Sir,
Your daughter rob your chest, Sir,
Your wife may steal your rest, Sir,
A thief your goods and plate.
But this is all but picking,
With rest, pence, chest, and chicken:
It ever was decreed, Sir,
If lawyers's hand is seed, Sir,
He steels your whole estate
