John Gay Quote

How, like a moth, the simple maid
Still plays about the flame!


The Beggar's Opera (1728) act 1, sc. 4, air 4


How, like a moth, the simple maid Still plays about the flame!

How, like a moth, the simple maid Still plays about the flame!

How, like a moth, the simple maid Still plays about the flame!

How, like a moth, the simple maid Still plays about the flame!
