IN PRAISE OF OLD OLD by CRATES

First Line: SOME GIDDY FOOLS DO REV'REND AGE DERIDE
Last Line: WHO OLD, INFIRM, AND POOR, CAN LONGER LIFE DESIRE.
Subject(s): OLD AGE;
SOME giddy fools do rev'rend Age deride,
But who enjoy'd it not, untimely died;
We pray we may to good old age attain,
And then of its infirmities complain;
But their insatiate minds I must admire,
Who old, infirm, and poor, can longer life desire.
