Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. — A good wife should be like three things; which three things she should not be like. 1. She should be like a snail, to keep within her own house; but she should not be like the snail to carry all she has upon her "back. 2. She should be like an echo, to speak when spoken to; but she should not be like an echo, always to have the last word. 3. She should be like a town clock, always to keep time and regularity; but she should not be like a town clock, speak so loud that all the town may hear her. (Old writer.)
