Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Encouragement to Marry

​
Encouragement to Marry.
"Your wife is beautiful and young,
But then her clapper! How 'tis hung!
Had I a wife with such a tongue,
I'd pack her off to France, sir."

"Pshaw! You're too much afraid of strife;
Would you improve your present life,
Look out for such another wife,
I'm sure you'll find her answer."
