AGE by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: DEATH, THO I SEE HIM NOT, IS NEAR
Last Line: BUT BARGAINS: THOSE HE WILL NOT STRIKE.
Subject(s): OLD AGE;
Death, tho I see him not, is near
And grudges me my eightieth year.
Now, I would give him all these last
For one that fifty have run past.
Ah! he strikes all things, all alike,
But bargains: those he will not strike.
