The meagre paleness from his aspect fled,

And in its room sprung up a florid red:

Through all his limbs a youthful vigour flies,

His emptied arteries swell with fresh supplies.

Gazing spectators scarce believe their eyes.

But Æson is the most surprised to find

A happy change in body and in mind,

In sense and constitution the same man,

As when his fortieth active year began."

Ovid.
