“One has much wealth; his wife, so sweet and yet so bold, Distributes it to those who'll crown him a cuckold. The other, still a wretch, but with a kinder fate, Observing gifts presented to his lifelong mate, Maintains his peace of mind free from all jealousy, For she says her virtue attracts this gallantry.”
