Yet, never did I in my drunkardness— […] / While my poor post of a husband held a horse, / Or sponged a mule, or wagon, for a drink,— / Smother a child in bed, or let one tumble / Into a tub and drown, as you did, after / Returning home from church, where, in the hymning, / You and your old hag mother had been steepling / On either side of that black-whiskered villain.
