There was a sorry judge who lived at the Swan by himself. He got but little honor, and he got but little pelf i.e. wealth, He drudged and judged from morn to night, no ass drudged more than he, And the more he drudged, and the more he judged, the sorrier judge was he.
More Quotes from St. George Tucker:
In the appendix to the Commentaries, Tucker elaborates This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty.... The right of self-defense is the first law of nature in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Whenever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.St. George Tucker
