The School For Wives
Translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur.

Author(s):
  Molière

Fearing cuckoldry above all else, Arnolphe has painstakingly trained the guileless Agnes from childhood to become his obedient and faithful wife. Although he has carefully shielded her from the outside world, romance finds her in the form of the dashing Horace, son of one of Arnolphe’s best friends. Unaware of who his rival is, the trusting Horace enlists Arnolphe’s aid in wooing Agnes--that leads to a series of hilarious and inventive twists and turns of plot, until the inevitable conclusion is reached: The wily Arnolphe is duped into outwitting himself and young love, as it will, carries the day.
