"My lusts they do me leave
My fancies all be fled
And tract of time begins to weave
Grey hairs upon my head.
For age with stealing steps
Hath clawed me with his clutch
And lusty life away she leaps,
As there had been none such."
Thomas , Lord Vaux, 2nd Baron Vaux of Harrowden
"The Aged Lover Renounceth Love " (1557)
