Additional quotes by Edward Moore

I am rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

The maid who modestly conceals
Her beauties, while she hides, reveals;
Give but a glimpse, and fancy draws
Whate’er the Grecian Venus was.

I'll tell thee what it [the world] says: it calls me a villain: a treacherous husband; a cruel father; a false brother; one lost to nature and her charities; or, to say all in one short word, it calls me—gamester.

But beauty has wings, and too hastily flies, And love, unrewarded, soon sickens and dies. - Edward Moore
