Even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.—Isaiah, xlvi. 4.
The very hairs of your head are all numbered.—Matthew, x. 30.
These hairs of age are messengers,
Which bid me fast, repent, and pray;
They be of death the harbingers,
That doth prepare and dress the way;
Wherefore, I joy that you may see
Upon my head such hairs to be.
They be the lines that lead the length
How far my race was for to run;
