Iphis: O harsh old age! How loathsome is your reign!
How I hate those who want to stretch life out,
Counting on meats and drinks and magic spells
To turn the stream aside and stave off death.
When useless to the world, they ought to die:
Away with them! Let them leave it to the young.
How I hate those who want to stretch life out,
Counting on meats and drinks and magic spells
To turn the stream aside and stave off death.
When useless to the world, they ought to die:
Away with them! Let them leave it to the young.
