Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

Come, come," said Tom's father, "at your time of life,
There's no longer excuse for thus playing the rake--
It is time you should think, boy, of taking a wife."
"Why, so it is father--whose wife shall I take?

Man for his glory
To ancestry flies;
But Woman's bright story
Is told in her eyes.

Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea!
Jehovah has triumphed—his people are free.

Oh stay! oh stay! Joy so seldom weaves a chain Like this to-night, that oh 't is pain To break its links so soon. - Thomas Moore
