CONJURGIUM NON CONJURGIUM; EPIGRAM by JOHN GODFREY SAXE

First Line: DICK LEADS, IT IS KNOWN, WITH HIS VIXENISH WIFE
Last Line: SHOULD SURELY BE WRITTEN THE CONJURGAL STATE!
Subject(s): MARRIAGE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
DICK leads, it is known, with his vixenish wife,
In spite of their vows, such a turbulent life,
The social relation of Dick and his mate
Should surely be written The Conjurgal State!
