Classic Poem

When worthy Aristokrates embarked upon the waters of Akheron, he spoke these words with a hand upon his languishing brow: " Every man must think of children and take a wife; though he be hard pressed by bitter poverty, his life must be pillared by children. A house without pillars is a wretched sight, and what is more pleasing to a man than a cheerful hearth-fire with piled-up wood, casting a glow upon the smooth columns of his portico. "
Aristokrates knew the truth, O Man, but he hated the wickedness of women.
