QUANTRAINS: YOUTH AND AGE by FREDERIC ROWLAND MARVIN

First Line: PLEASURE!' CRIES YOUTH. 'T IS PLEASURE I DEMAND
Last Line: "AND AM CONTENT IF QUIET EASE REMAIN."
Subject(s): AGING; YOUTH;
"Pleasure!" cries Youth, " 't is pleasure I demand;
With eager lip the crystal cup I drain."
Sighs weary Age, "I do remember well,
And am content if quiet ease remain."
