TRIAL BY JURY.

Chorus.

From bias free of every kind
This trial must be tried.

During Choruses, Usher says, fortissimo, "Silence in Court!")

Usher.

Oh, listen to the plaintiff's case:
Observe the features of her face—
The broken-hearted bride.
Condole with her distress of mind—
From bias free of every kind
This trial must be tried!

Chorus.

From bias free, &c.

Usher.

And when amid the plaintiff's shrieks.
The ruffianly defendant speaks—
Upon the other side;
What he may say you needn't mind—
From bias free of every kind
This trial must be tried.

Chorus.

From bias free, &c.
