Prelud. XI
Proestanda in pendendis legibus
Not content with observing the figure it makes
upon parchment in the . . . . of the Senatehouse,
or in paper on the Lawyer's shelf,
he must trace it through all it's progress
and call up to his imagination its operation influence
on — on the Cottage of on attend it in imagination through the whole course several stages of it's progress into the hands of . . . . the peasant, [in the workshop
of] the artisan [in the closet of] the provincial
Magistrate & [in the hands of] his subordinate
co-adjutors. [Yet farther He must even follow it up (how hard his
fate to wander in those regions where Chaos
seem to have set up fixed his eternal empire)]
He must behold conceive it by anticipation exposed to
the rude assaults of plebian cunning, & to the
more disciplined . . . . . of forensic warfare.
