Despising youth's allurements and rejecting

As spider-films the shackles I endure?

Is there hope for me?"—and I answered gravely

As an acknowledged elder, calmer, wiser,

More gifted mortal. O you must remember,

For all your glorious ...

Par. Glorious? ay, this hair,

These hands—nay, touch them, they are mine! Recall

With all the said recallings, times when thus

To lay them by your own ne'er turned you pale
