Once a man with a scolding wife couldn’t agree,
And the priest was called in to see what could be done
From your scolding and fight- ing, your neighbors,” said he,
“Imagine you’re twenty in- stead of being one
That cat and that dog on the hearth, as you see,
Live in comfort together, and why couldn’t you?”
“Just tie them together, your reverence,” said she,
“And see if they won’t give you plenty to do”
