William Cowper quotes on age

8. Candid, and generous, and just, Boys care but little whom they trust, An error soon corrected- For who but learns in riper years That man, when smoothest he appears Is most to be suspected?

14. And still to love, though prest with ill, In wintry age to feel no chill, With me is to be lovely still, My Mary!

72. His head, Not yet by time completely silvered o'er, Bespoke him past the bounds of freakish youth, But strong for service still, and unimpaired.
