Crabbed age and youth cannot live together:
Youth is full of pleasance, age is full of care;Youth like summer morn, age like winter weather;Youth like summer brave, age like winter bare.
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short;Youth is nimble, age is lame;
Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold;Youth is wild and age is tame.
Age, I do abhor thee; youth, I do adore thee;O, my love, my love is young!
Age, I do defy thee.O, sweet shepherd, hie thee, For methinks thou stay too long.
