The fond husband will, after conjugal strife, Kiss, forgive, weep and fall on the neck of his wife. But Abomileque's wife other conduct may dread; When he falls on her neck, 'tis to cut off her head. How many there are, when a wife plays the fool, Will argue the point with her, calmly and cool; The bashaw, who don't relish debates of this sort, Cuts the woman as well as the argument short. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TWO MYSTERIES by MARY ELIZABETH MAPES DODGE THE SEEDLING by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR TO MUSIC; A FRAGMENT by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY TO MICHAL: SONNETS AFTER MARRIAGE: 8.
