Wives rarely fuss about their beauty To guarantee their mate's affection.
To create a public scandal is what's wicked; to sin in private is not a sin.
Ah! how annoying that the law doesn't allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.
It is a folly second to none; to try to improve the world.
I maintain, in truth, That with a smile we should instruct our youth, Be very gentle when we have to blame, And not put them in fear of virtue's name.
And knowing money is a root of evil, in Christian charity, he'd take away whatever things may hinder your salvation.
