Quotes
Britannia’s daughters, much more fair than nice,Too fond of admiration, lose their price;Worn in the public eye, give cheap delightTo throngs, and tarnish to the sated sight:As unreserved, and beauteous, as the sun,Through every sign of vanity they run,Assemblies, parks, coarse feasts in City halls,Lectures, and trials, plays, committees, balls,Wells, bedlams, executions, Smithfield scenes,And fortune-tellers’ caves, and lions’ dens,Taverns, exchanges, bridewells, drawing-rooms,Instalments, pillories, coronations, tombs,Tumblers, and funerals, puppet-shows, reviews,Sales, races, rabbits, and (still stranger!) pews.
Edward Young, "Satire V. On Women"
Love of Fame, the Universal Passion (1727)
