In his arms he holds her ever so gently
Through him she will know her true worth
She shall learn how she is to be treated
Determine just how she regards her birth
~
Either with respect for her own nature
Giving of his time to her with enjoyment
Or disdain and impatience with her ways
The weighty importance of his endowment
~~
Please treat your daughters with respect
