WHO so are plac'd, in sacred Iustice roome, And haue in charge, her statutes to obserue: Let them with care, behoulde this garnish'd toome, That suche a one, at lengthe they maie deserue: Of marble harde, suppose the same to bee, An Ewer eeke, vppon one corner standes, At th'other ende, a bason wee maie see; With Towell faire, to wipe theire washed handes: Th'effecte whereof, let Iudges printe in minde, That they maie leaue a lasting name behinde. The marble showes: they must bee firme, and sure, And not be pierc'd, nor mooued from the truthe: The reste declare: they must bee cleane, and pure; And not inclin'd to rigor, or to ruthe. But, when a cause before them shalbee harde, With conscience cleare, let them the same decide: No Ritche, or Poore, or frend, or foe, regarde, For feare, they doe throughe theire affections slide: But let them washe, theire handes from euerie crime, That GOD maye blesse, and here prolonge theire time. Non priùs in dulcem declinat lumina somnum, Omnia quàm longi reputauerit acta diei; Quae praetergressus? quid gestum in tempore? quid non? Cur isti facto decus abfuit, aut ratio illi? Quid mihi praeteritum: cur haec sententia sedit, Quam melius mutare fuit? miseratus egentem, Cur aliquem fracta persensi mente dolorem? Quid volui, quod nolle bonum foret? vtile honesto Cur malus antetuli? num dicto, aut denique vultu Perstrictus quisquam? cur me natura, magis quàm Disciplina trahit? sic dicta & facta per omnia Ingrediens, ortóque à vespere cuncta reuoluens, Offensus prauis, dat palmam, & premia rectis. Augusto super Psal. 37 Apud iustum Iudi- cem sola conscientia propria timenda est. August. De comm. vit. Cler. Non vos iudicetis maleuolos esse, quan- do alterius crimen iudicatis: magis quippe nocentes estis, si fratres vestros, quos iudicando cor- rigere potestis, ta- cendo perire permit- tatis. Stobaeus ex Plutar- chi Serm. 44. retulit imagines iudicum apud Thebas esse, sine manibus, at summi iudicis ima- ginem clausis ocu- lis: Eò quòd iustitia nec muneribus ca- pi, nec hominum vultu flecti debeat. Auson. de viro bo- no Edyll. 18.
