English poem
The Modern Couple
by Anonymous
'Twixt John and his wife, in lieu of affection, Perpetual contests arose: In judgment and taste, each assum'd the direction. And both were proceeding to blows: When John exclaimed, 'Hold—my error I see, 'Your argument's weighty and true; 'You have taste; for in marriage you made choice 'of me; 'I've none—for I made choice of you.'
