    Forty years on, growing older and older,
    Shorter in wind, as in memory long,
    Feeble of foot, and rheumatic of shoulder
    What will it help you that once you were strong?

    The same reason that makes us chide and brawl and fall out with any of our neighbours, causeth a war to follow between Princes.
