A glance, a touch, discovers to the wise,

But every man has not discerning eyes.

All-changing time does also change the mind,

And different ages different pleasures find;

Youth, hot and furious, cannot brook delay,

By flattering vice is easily led away;

Vain in discourse, inconstant in desire,

In censure, rash; in pleasures, all on fire.

The manly age does steadier thoughts enjoy;

Power and ambition do his soul employ;
