I’m not that lover, filled with passion, - <br />That youth, who left the world amazed: <br />Alas, my spring and summer passed now, <br />And didn’t leave a single trace. <br />Cupid, the god of youth and love and virtue! <br />I used to be your steadfast servant; <br />Oh, if I could be reborn, - I’d serve you <br />Even more passionate and fervent!<br /><br />Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-man-7/
