HE man who's fond precociously of stirring
Must be a spoon.
Thomas Hood.
ON ONE PETER AND HIS WIFE.
UTRAGEOUS hourly with his wife was Peter;
Some do aver he has been known to beat her.
"She seems unhappy," said a friend one day;
Peter turn'd sharply: "What is that you say?
Her temper you have there misunderstood:
She dares not be unhappy if she would."
Walter Savage Landor.
MAN who puts a non-natural strained sense on a promise is no better than a robber.
Rev. A. Debarry, in George Eliot's Felix Holt.
