So it happened, that on a day, when he was disputing about her with one of his friends, and abusing him, for not readily admitting all his own eulogies of his wife, that friend of his suddenly burst out laughing, and exclaimed: For all things there is a cure, even for snake-bite there is a cure, but there is no cure, for one who has been bitten with a woman's beauty.

Who acts: it, that, friend, cure · What happens: happen, dispute, abuse, not admit, burst out, laugh · To what, where: purpose, own eulogies, things, snake bite
