158Crabbed age and youth cannot liue together,

159Youth is full of pleasance, Age is full of care,

160Youth like summer morne, Age like winter weather,

161Youth like summer braue, Age like winter bare.

162Youth is full of sport, Ages breath is short,

163Youth is nimble, Age is lame

164Youth is hot and bold, Age is weake and cold,

165Youth is wild, and Age is tame.

166 Age I doe abhor thee, Youth I doe adore thee,

167 O my loue my loue is young:

168 Age I doe defie thee. Oh sweet Shepheard hie thee:

169 For me thinks thou staies too long.
