The Handsome cobler, or, The father outwitted (1802)/Tyburn Tree

TYBURN TREE.

SINCE laws were made for ev'ry degree,
To curb vice in others, as well as me,
I wonder we han't better company
Upon Tyburn Tree!
But gold from Law can take out the Sting,
And if rich men like us were to ſwing,
'Twould thin the land, ſuch numbers to ſtring
Upon Tyburn Tree.
