Rondelet: On the Payroll

"I had said, that some of our crew left their country on account of having been ruined by law; that I had already explained the meaning of the word; but he was at a loss how it should come to pass, that the lawwhich was intended for man's preservation, should be any man's ruin." Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) was a cousin of the poet Dryden Rondelet: On the payroll On the payroll The law causes more misery On the payroll Than what puts people on the dole All judges accept salary Are lawyers born divinity On the payroll (c) T. Wignesan - Paris, 2012
