from The Tenth Satyr of Juvenal
Jove grant large space of life, and length of days
With Confidence and vehemence one prays.
Ne're thinking what continual griefs attend,
And under what great ills old age does bend.
A Face deform'd, of horrid colour grown,
Unlike himself, his flabby cheeks hang down.
'Stead of a Skin he has an ugly hide,
Wither'd and rough with wrinckles deep and wide,
Such as in shady woods of Tabraca,
On rivled Cheeks, old Mother Ape does claw.
In youth there many great distinctions are
One is more strong, the other is more fair.
But in all old mens Faces there's no choice,
Limbs paralytick, trembling is the voice,
With a bald pate, and with a nasty nose
That's ever dropping as an Infants does,
He mumbles bread between his toothless Gumms.
Irksome to's Wife and Children he becomes.
– Juvenal (AD 50-127), translated by Thomas Shadwell (1682)
