Fly not yet; 't is just the hour
When pleasure, like the midnight flower
That scorns the eye of vulgar light,

And maids who love the moon. (Thomas Moore)

Fly not yet; 't is just the hour When pleasure, like the midnight flower That scorns the eye of vulgar light, Begins to bloom for sons of night And maids who love the moon.
