In Re a Gentleman, 1. When an attorney is called before the full court to answer for any alleged misconduct, it is not usual to publish his name until he is found guilty. Until then the matter appears in the papers as, In Re a Gentleman, 1 of the Attorneys of the Supreme Court, or more shortly, In Re a Gentleman, 1.
We see it each day in the paper and know that there's mischief in store, that some unprofessional caper has landed a shark on the shore. We know there'll be plenty of trouble before they get through with the fun, because he's been coming the double on clients, has Gentleman, 1. Alas for the gallant attorney, intent upon cutting a dash, sets out on life's perilous
journey with rather more cunning than cash. And fortune at first is inviting, he struts his brief hour in the sun, but lo! On the wall is the writing of Nemesis, Gentleman, 1. For soon he runs short of the dollars, he fears he must go to the wall. So Peter's trust-money he collars to pay off his creditor, Paul.
Then robs right and left, for he goes it in earnest when once he's begun. Dissenses a veriny, he knows it, it's easy for Gentleman, 1. The crash comes as sure as the seasons, he loses his coin in a mine, or booming in land, or for reasons connected with women and wine. Or maybe the cards or the horses, a share of the damage have done.
No matter, the end of the course is the same, Ray, a Gentleman, 1. He struggles a while to keep going, to stave off detection and shame. But creditors, clamorous, growing, ere long put an end to the game. At length the poor soldier of Satan, his course to a finish has run. And just think of Windir waiting to deal with a Gentleman, 1.
And some face it boldly, and brazen the shame and the utter disgrace, while others, more sensitive, hasten their names and their deeds to a face. They snap the frail thread which the furies and fates have so cruelly spun. May the great final judge and his juries have mercy on Gentleman, 1. End of poem.
