116 <br /> <br />I had some things that I called mine— <br />And God, that he called his, <br />Till, recently a rival Claim <br />Disturbed these amities. <br /> <br />The property, my garden, <br />Which having sown with care, <br />He claims the pretty acre, <br />And sends a Bailiff there. <br /> <br />The station of the parties <br />Forbids publicity, <br />But Justice is sublimer <br />Than arms, or pedigree. <br /> <br />I'll institute an "Action"— <br />I'll vindicate the law— <br />Jove! Choose your counsel— <br />I retain "Shaw"!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-had-some-things-that-i-called-mine/
