from The Tenth Satire of Juvenal
 
    In youth a thousand different features strike;
All have their charms, but have not charms alike:
While age presents one universal face –
A faultering voice, a weak and trembling pace,
An ever-dropping nose, a forehead bare,
And toothless gums to mump his wretched fare.
He grows, poor wretch, (now, in the dregs of life,)
So loathsome to himself, his child, his wife,
That those who hop'd the legacy to share,
And flatter'd long, disgusted disappear.

– Juvenal (AD 50-127), translated by William Gifford (1802)
