Maria's younger brother,
Who, walking one way, chose to gaze the other.
In Blandford Square—a crowded part of town—
Two People on a tandem knocked him down;

Whereat a Motor Car, with warning shout, 
Ran right on top and turned him inside out: 
The damages that he obtained from these 
Maintained him all his life in cultured ease.

Moral

The law protects you. Go your gentle way:

The Other Man has always got to Pay.
