An Argument by Thomas Moore Analysis - An Argument by Thomas Moore Summary

An Argument by Thomas Moore
1779 - 1852

I've oft been told by learned friars,
That wishing and the crime are one,
And Heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.

If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our heart's content;
Come, then, at least we may enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment!
