Additional quotes by Edward Moore

Time still, as he flies, brings increase to her truth,
And gives to her mind what he steals from her youth.

Can’t I another’s face commend,
And to her virtues be a friend,
But instantly your forehead lours,
As if her merit lessen’d yours?

But from the hoop’s bewitching round,
Her very shoe has power to wound.

’Tis now the summer of your youth: time has not cropt the roses from your cheek, though sorrow long has washed them. - Edward Moore
