Upon the Gran Climacterik Year—63.
He who nine seven in seven nine yearsUpon his stooping sholders bears,
127
About the world his course hath run
Sixty three times, and on that score
Hath felt eight hundred Moons and more;
'Tis time, high time that He shold ply
The Art of Learning how to Die,
And think all Sounds his Passing-Bell,
To bid the Lower World Farewel.
