Another Gallant Epigram!
John , at confession, said he thumped his wife:
" Indeed," exclaimed the priest, " how often, pray?"
" Oh, — once a day."
" How! Once a day! What, would you take her life!
A wife thumped once a day! Heavens, what a lot!"
" I own," said John, " I've somewhat too much gall;
But come; — confess me; and I tell you what; —
I'll give it her, this evening, once for all ."
