As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him,
so I am no read more

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him,

youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can
never be so in mind.

There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful
friend;
Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in
the winde;
But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale
and woe;
The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the
same overthrowe.
