CRABBED Age and Youth Youth is full of pleasance, Age is full of care; Youth like summer morn, Age's breath is short; Youth is nimble, Age is lame: Youth is hot and bold, Age is weak and cold; Youth is wild, and Age is tame: Age, I do abhor thee, Youth, I do adore thee; O! my Love, my Love is young!

Through the velvet leaves the wind Ne'er to pluck, thee from thy thorn: Vow, alack, for youth unmeet; Youth so apt to pluck a sweet!

COME AWAY, COME AWAY, DEATH" From Twelfth Night COME away, come away, death, I am slain by a fair cruel maid. My part of death, no one so true Did share it. Not a flower, not a flower sweet, On my black coffin let there be strown; Not a friend, not a friend greet My poor corpse, where my bones shall A thousand thousand sighs to save, Sad true lover never find my grave, To weep there! William Shakespeare. 8 16 |
