The Laws they were made for the Little,
The Laws they were made for the Little,
In the hands of the Strong,
All the ties, that belong
To Justice and Honour, are brittle.
The Laws they were made for the Little,
The Laws they were made for the Little,
Though Churchmen may preach,
And Philosophers teach,
The Great will not list to a tittle.
The Laws they were made for the Little,
The Laws they were made for the Little;
It is not by Right,
But by wrong-doing Might,
That Giants still scape a Committal.
(Henry Brooke)
