And does the soul alone for age survive?

Like embryos sleeping in their seeds, seem nought,

'Till friendly time does ripen it to thought?

Judgment, experience, that before was theirs:

But fancy wantons still in younger spheres;

Played with some loose and scattered beams of light,

And revelled in an anarchy of wit.

Both youth and age unequally did charm;

As much too cold was this, as that too warm.

But you have reconciled their differing praise,
