Pearls before Swine

[From the Sermon on the Mount
"Do not ... cast your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet ..." 
                               Matthew 7:6 ]

I know my two girls
Are a couple of Pearls
No mother could ask for more.
But there's never a sign
of a couple of swine
To cast my Pearls before.

Quoted by Betty Clay in her Diary for 1936

Also in "The King Maker" by Geordie Greig (dated at August 1937)
