[XX. Gaze not on youth]

Gaze not on youth, let age containe thy wandring eye

Gaze not on youth, let age containe thy wandring eye, thy wandring eye, thy eye from obiects vaine, But when the eye, but when the eye is on the face, The minde is in another place, the minde is in, is in, another place, in another place.
