    Old age doth in sharp pains abound;
    We are belabored by the gout,
    Our blindness is a dark profound,
    Our deafness each one laughs about.
    Then reason's light with falling ray
    Doth but a trembling flicker cast.
    Honor to age, ye children pay!
    Alas! my fifty years are past!
