SONGS OF THE HOME.
IV.--THE BARRISTER HUSBAND.
_How doth the Barrister delight,_
_According to his sort,_
_To mix in any form of fight_
_In any kind of Court._
When Nurse's temper runs amok,
And Cook is by the ears,
And all the home is terror-struck
By notices and tears,
And Madame begs me estimate
What argument or bounce'll
Restore and keep the peace, I state
Opinion of Counsel:--
"With language dignified and terse
And with a haughty look
I should annihilate the Nurse
And coldly crush the Cook;
And, if they started in to weep,
A word would make them stow it:--
'That's not effective, merely cheap;
And, what is more, you know it.
