The Old Bailey
Here's the one Central Criminal Court
For England and Wales. It ought
To convey a full sense
Of fair trial, with defence,
When prisoners to London are brought.
Atop, holding scales and a sword,
Lady Justice stands. She can afford
To keep eyes blindfold-free;
Maidenhood's a guarantee
That blind justice will rule like a lord.
