Epigram XLIV. On a bribed Judge

Two parties had a difference, and the cause
Did come to be decided by the Laws:
The bribing Plaintiff did the Judge present
With a new Coach; T'other with same intent,
Gives him two Horses; each with like design,
To make the Judge to his own side incline.
The cause being try'd, the Plantiffs overthrown;
O Coach (quoth he) thou art the wrong way gone;
The Judge reply'd, It cannot but be so;
For where his Horses draw, your Coach must go.
