1 Though some saith that youth ruleth me, <br />2 I trust in age to tarry. <br />3 God and my right and my duty, <br />4 From them I shall never vary, <br />5 Though some say that youth ruleth me. <br /> <br />6 I pray you all that aged be, <br />7 How well did ye your youth carry? <br />8 I think some worse, of each degree: <br />9 Therein a wager lay dare I, <br />10 Though some saith that youth ruleth me. <br /> <br />11 Pastimes of youth sometime among, <br />12 None can say but necessary. <br />13 I hurt no man, I do no wrong, <br />14 I love true where I did marry, <br />15 Though some saith that youth ruleth me. <br /> <br />16 Then soon discuss that hence we must. <br />17 Pray we to God and Saint Mary <br />18 That all amend, and here an end, <br />19 Thus saith the king, the eighth Harry, <br />20 Though some saith that youth ruleth me.<br /><br />Henry VIII, King of England<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/though-some-saith-that-youth-ruleth-me-2/
