"THE BEATING OF MY OWN WIFE".
— "The beating of my own. Heart." Tel melted all my wages,. Era of beer 1 had a fill, For a bob I asked the missus — There's a way where there's a will. She refused, I took the poker, The neighbours ney«r stirred, Wor the beating of my own wife Was the only sound they h«ard! A sneak blowed to4be> crushers* I was lugged before the beak — Bub I knowed fchat it was nothing: The old gal had hor squeak j They fined me forty shillings, I paid it like a bird, And the beating of ray own wife, Perhaps that night was heard. But rightß is rights no longer ; Cross swears he'll eat his hat, Or jollj dogs, as wop their gals, Shall suffer from the oat. If that brutal measure passes,! Take William S\kes his word, That the beating of his own wife "Will not again be heard. — "Punch,"'
