Sixty is merely fifty at its best ! Happy who lengthens out a long three-score !
Clymene. But he is seventy now ; — or good four-score.
Epam. Blest time ! Oh ! what soft calm is all about ! Life's fever is burnt down :— and the mild pulse Vibrates so quietly ! — 'Tis wisdom's hour ! And wisdom is true strength : — not that brute force That lies in the full arm, or nervous thigh : — The ox, in that, is greater than the man. Oh ! this, at last, is the true wine of life ! All, past before, was mer...ely pulp, and rind, In a long fermentation. The shrunk limbs — The palsied hand — the hairless crown — the voice — Thin, and as frequent as the grasshopper's — Why — what are these ? — Merely the lengthening shades PELOPIDAS. 93 That mark the evening coming that must come ; — And comes more oft to fifteen, than four-score ! — Be happy then ! — The sun is just as bright, About to set, as when 'twas newly risen : — Nay, brighter, — for the morning's fogs are gone.
