Prejudice -Unfinished

How thou speak in staunchness
Though thou nimbus wanes ever more.
In prejudice thy justice lies
"'Tis a matter for the courts."

Now thou laugh with prideful belly
Assuredly thy confidence grows.
Under foot and under brow
"And lest thou forget; my nose."

    "Forsooth can I," said he, "scarcely believe,"
    "That thou seeeth not the truth."

      Replied I,
     "But my friend, I believe I do."
