Age
Weak withering age no rigid law forbids,
With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with balm,
The sapless habit daily to bedew,
And give the hesitating wheels of life
Gliblier to play.
John Armstrong, The Art of Preserving Health (1744), Book II, line 484.
Age
He has grown aged in this world of woe,
In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life.
So that no wonder waits him.
Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto III (1816), Stanza 5.
Age
Nature in you stands on the very verge
Of her confine.
William Shakespeare, King Lear (1608), Act II, scene 4, line 148.
