Quote by John Gay
How the mother is to be pitied who hath handsome daughters! Locks,

How the mother is to be pitied who hath handsome daughters! Locks, bolts, bars, and lectures of morality are nothing to them: they break through them all. They have as much pleasure in cheating a father and mother, as in cheating at cards. – John Gay
