How to Handle a Woman

And what of teaching me by turning me to animal and bird, From beaver to the smallest bobolink! I should have had a whirl, at changing to a girl, To learn the way the creatures think!
But wasn't there a night, on a summer long gone by, We saw a couple wrangling away; And did I not say, Merlyn: What if that chap were I? And did he not give counsel and say... What was it now?... My mind's a wall, Oh, yes!... By Jove, now I recall. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
'How to handle a woman? There's a way,' said the wise old man, 'A way known by every woman Since the whole rigmarole began.' 'Do I flatter her?' I begged him answer. 'Do I threaten or cajole or plead? Do I brood or play the gay romancer?' Said he, smiling: 'No, indeed. How to handle a woman? Mark me well, I will tell you, sir: The way to handle a woman Is to love her... simply love her... Merely love her... love her... love her.'
