Additional quotes by Thomas Moore

And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen,
The maiden herself will steal after it soon.

If I speak to thee in friendship's name,
Thou think'st I speak too coldly;
If I mention love's devoted flame,
Thou say'st I speak too boldly.

To sigh, yet feel no pain;
To weep, yet scarce know why;
To sport an hour with Beauty's chain,
Then throw it idly by.

Wert thou all that I wish thee, great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth and first gem of the sea. - Thomas Moore
