Common Law Of Claim

Should a man steel his feet amongst thee claim,
Steal of feat the man of him in same.

Should a man bear his hand upon thee face
Bare of bone and hand to he his due disgrace

Should a man eye thee fare and dwindling drink
I pronounce it fair and just he water bound to sink.

Should a man linger about your wedded wife
Linger not, you're to show this man's throat the knife.

About this poem:
Just wording around with some play

And no, I don't feel a man's wife is his claim. But many old laws did. It's just a poem.

And yes, I cheated on 'linger'.

Please enjoy.
