Crabbed Age and Youth <br />Cannot live together: <br />Youth is full of pleasance, <br />Age is full of care; <br />Youth like summer morn, <br />Age like winter weather; <br />Youth like summer brave, <br />Age like winter bare: <br />Youth is full of sports, <br />Age's breath is short, <br />Youth is nimble, Age is lame: <br />Youth is hot and bold, <br />Age is weak and cold, <br />Youth is wild, and Age is tame:- <br />Age, I do abhor thee; <br />Youth, I do adore thee; <br />O! my Love, my Love is young! <br />Age, I do defy thee- <br />O sweet shepherd, hie thee, <br />For methinks thou stay'st too long.<br /><br />William Shakespeare<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-madrigal-2/
