All is said.

EQUATION.

When we grow old, and time looks like a thief,

That was the spendthrift of our dearest days;

When color mingles merged in silvered grays;

When joys are ever memoried to be brief;

When beauty fades; when hope is under feof;

When all our moods are mantled in a haze;

When sprightly pleasure for a penance plays

The part of prudence in the weeds of grief;
