Did not your wife join
 with you in these same sacrifices and prayers? Oh yes, earnestly
 promising before heaven to behave as she ought to
 do; and it was easy to see that she would not
 neglect the lessons I taught her. Pray tell me,
 Ischomachus, what was the first lesson you taught
 her, since I would sooner hear this from your lips
 than an account of the noblest athletic event or
 horse-race?
