Loading...

a friend of mine was married to a scold
to me he came, and all his troubles told
said he, “she’s like a woman raving mad.”
“alas! my friend,” said i, “that’s very bad!”
“no, not so bad,” said he; “for, with her, true
i had both house and land, and money too.”
“that was well,” said i;
“no, not so well,” said he;
“for i and her own brother
went to law with one another;
i was cast, the suit was lost
and every penny went to pay the cost.”
“that was bad,” said i;
“no, not so bad,” said he:
“for we agreed that he the house should keep
and give to me four score of yorkshire sheep
all fat, and fair, and fine, they wеre to be.”
“well, thеn,” said i, “sure that was well for thee?”
“no, not so well,” said he;
“for, when the sheep i got
they every one died of the rot.”
“that was bad,” said i;
“no, not so bad,” said he;
“for i had thought to scr~pe the fat
and keep it in an oaken vat;
then into tallow melt for winter store.”
“well, then,” said i, “that’s better than before?”
“’twas not so well,” said he;
“for having got a clumsy fellow
to scr~pe the fat and melt the tallow;
into the melting fat the fire catches
and, like brimstone matches
burnt my house to ashes.”
“that was bad,” said i;
“no! not so bad,” said he; “for, what is best
my scolding wife has gone among the rest.”
