When Judge Brown was at the bar he sometimes "dropped into" writing books, humorous and otherwise, also poetic effusions, and good ones. Evidently, on one occasion the judge had sailed into him, and in the pensive hours of the evening he wrote the following :
The Outside Judge.
You may sing of the judge, the common pleas judge, Or any judge that you please ; I go for the judge, the nice old judge, That knowingly takes his ease And looking wise from behind the bench, At the rate of six thousand a year, Cares not a hair in his sound old head Who goes to the front or rear.
Not his is the bone they are fighting for, And why should the judge sail in,
With nothing to gain, but a chance perhaps To lose in strife and chagrin. There may be a few, perhaps, who fail To see it quite in this light :
But when the fur flies I'd rather be The outside judge in the fight.
I know there are some-of judges I speak- That think it is quite the thing
To take the part of one in the fight And hop right into the ring;
But I care not a hair what any may say,
In regard to the wrong or the right, My judgment goes, as well as my rhyme,
For the judge that keeps out of the fight.
It is believed by all who know him that Judge Brown will in all the future concur with Lawyer Brown on the proposition stated in his humorous verses.
