It knoweth things that are not so and denieth stoutly against facts.
It fawneth upon the strong arm and enslaveth the meek.
The henpecked is a laughing stock to his fellows, and the Petticoat rejoiceth thereat.
Look not upon the Petticoat when the wind bloweth; and when it rustleth seductively, harken not.
It putteth on clothes in manner and shape which is a reproach to common sense.
Better that thou put a mill stone about thy neck and straightway leap into deep water than put thyself under the dominion of the Petticoat, for it ruleth with a rod of iron and without discretion; it putteth a yoke upon thy shoulders which galleth forever.
THE LOVE OF GOD
He who can solemnly declare he feels the love of God,
Speaks in poetic sense, or else is freak or fraud;
