Judge And Thief

O'erfoaming with rage
The foul-mouth'd judge Page
Thus question'd a thief in the dock:
"Didst never hear read
In the church, lump of lead!
Loose chip from the devil's own block!
'Thou shalt not steal?'" "Yea,"
The white chap did say,
"'Thou shalt not:' but thou was the word.
Had he piped out 'Jem Hewitt!
Be sure you don't do it,'
I'd ha' thought of it twice ere I did it, my lord."
