Ancient Antipothy.
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together,
Youth is full of pleasance, Age is full of care,
-- --
Youth like summer morne, Age like winter weather,
Youth like summer brave, Age like winter bare.
Youth is full of sport, Ages breath is short,
Youth is nimble, Age is lame,
Youth is hot and bold, Age is weake and cold,
Youth is wild, and age is tame.
Age I doe abhor thee, Youth I doe adore thee,
O my love my love is young:
Age I doe defie thee, Oh sweet Shepheard hie thee:
For me thinks thou staies too long.
