Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

Fly not yet; 't is just the hour
When pleasure, like the midnight flower
That scorns the eye of vulgar light,
Begins to bloom for sons of night
And maids who love the moon.

The minds of some of our statesmen, like the pupil of the human eye, contract themselves the more, the stronger light there is shed upon them.

How shall we rank thee upon glory's page,
Thou more than soldier, and just less than sage?

But the trail of the serpent is over them all. - Thomas Moore
