"THE BEATING OF MY OWN WIFE."

[From Punch ] * Air — " The beating of my own heart." I'd melted all my wages, Ere of bser I had a fill, For a bob I asked the missus — There's a way where there's a will. She refuseJ, I took the poker, The neighbors never stirred, For the beating of my own wife Was the only sound they heard.
