In Rea, a gentleman won by Andrew Barton Patterson, read for LibriVox.org by Jude. 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 Rea, a gentleman won at the attorneys of the Supreme Court, or more shortly, In Rea, a gentleman won. 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 cumming the double on clients, has gentlemen won. Alas, for the gallant attorney, intent upon cutting a dash, sets out on life's perilous journey with rather more cumming 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 won. 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, then robs right and left, for he goes it in earnest when once he's begun, De sensis averne, he knows it, it's easy for gentleman won. The crash comes as short as the seasons, he loses his coin in a mine, for 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, re, a gentleman won. 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 Windy awaiting to deal with a gentleman won. And some face it boldly and brazen, the
shame and the utter disgrace, while others more sensitive hasten their names and their deeds to efface. 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 won. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain.
