But beauty has wings, and too hastily flies,
More quotes by Edward Moore
But from the hoop’s bewitching round,
Her very shoe has power to wound.
Beauty has wings, and too hastily flies,
And love, unrewarded, soon sickens and dies.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
