Grounds for Divorce.

He.     What can a man do when a woman's perverse,      And determined to have her own way?                     She.     At the altar you took me for better or worse:      Am I worse than you took me for--say,                  Silly elf?--      Am I worse than you took me for, say?                      He.     For an angel I took you in beauty and worth--      The PRIEST a mere woman has given!                     She.     A MAN would prefer a true woman on earth,      To all the bright angels in heaven--                  Silly elf!--      To all the bright angels in heaven!                      He.     You are ever ready my feelings to hurt      At the veriest trifle, of course.                     She.     Forgetting a button to sew on your shirt      You deem a good ground for divorce--                  Silly elf!--      You deem a good ground for divorce!                      He.     Well, marriage a lottery is, and a blank      Some men surely draw all their lives.                     She.     Such fellows as you, sir, themselves have to thank;      Good husbands make always good wives--                  Silly elf!--      GOOD HUSBANDS MAKE ALWAYS GOOD WIVES!
