Emily Dickinson Lexicon

MORE, adv.

1. To a greater degree. Israel loved Joseph more than all his children. Gen. xxvii.
2. It is used with the. They hated him yet the more. Gen. xxxvii.
3. It is used to modify an adjective and form the comparative degree, having the same force and effect as the termination er, in monosyllables; as, more wise; more illustrious; more contemptible; more durable. It may be used before all adjectives which admit of comparison, and must be used before polysyllables.
4. A second or another time; again. I expected to hear of him no more. The dove returned not to him again any more. Gen. viii. No more, not continuing; existing no longer; gone; deceased or destroyed. Cassius is no more. Troy is no more. No more is used in commands, in an elliptical form of address. No more! that is, say no more; let me hear no more. In this use, however, more, when the sentence is complete, is a noun or substitute for a noun. Much more, in a greater degree or with more readiness; more abundantly. More and more, with continual increase. Amon trespassed more and more. 2 Chron. xxxiii.
