Maidens, like moths, are ever caught by glare,
And Mammon wins his way where seraphs might despair.
Where is delight? and what are pleasures now?--
Moths that a garment fret.
The world is turned memorial, crying, "Thou
Shalt not forget!"
Maidens, like moths, are ever caught, by glare, And Mammon wins his way where seraphs might despair.
Soft-buzzing Slander; silly moths that eat An honest name.
