A roof that leaks, a wife who gossips, a neighbor who peeps, a pet that bites, they cause endless grief.
A curious servant, a nymphomaniac wife, a lazy brother, a spendthrift son, get rid of them.
Two wives at home, a secretary who flirts, a boss who grins, a friend who flatters, you will die soon.
Walk after dinner, pay your loans, remember some birthdays, crush your enemies, you will live long. |
