Lyric Poems Made in Imitation of the Italians. Of which, many are Translations From other Languages ... By Philip Ayres |
Lyric Poems | ||
From Crates the Philosopher, on the same.
Some giddy Fools do Rev'rend Age deride,But who enjoy'd it not, untimely di'd;
VVe pray we may to good Old Age attain,
And then of its Infirmities complain;
But their insatiate Minds I must admire,
Who Old, Infirm, and Poor, can longer Life desire.
