For every ounce of flesh that I may carry, I bear at least a hundred pounds of sadness, Till I’ve become a stranger to all gladness, So close I’m kept by her they made me marry. She grinds my very bones with phrases which Advise economy; here’s one example: “Take care and your allowance will be ample.” I’d rather have them throw me in a ditch! There simmers no such terrible Inferno As this cursed economical persistence; It’s worse than winter rain that falls and freezes. What say the learnèd doctors of Salerno About a holy and a blessed existence? That man is healthy who does what he pleases.
