SeyentY-two years old, friend Wilt.y, seventy-two
years old!_
But never a sign that your heart’s getting chilly,
a hint that your fancy grows cold.
You can smite in the fight like a younker,—can talk,
as of old, for three hours by the clock,
Though your voice may not be quite so silvery,
Wixly, your hair such a raven-hued shock.
They whom the Gods love die young, friend Willy ; so said your favourite
Greeks:
They whom the Gods love never grow old, is the moral your history
speaks.
Happier, later Tithonus, friend Willy,—a wiser Aukora ’s your
friend,
j Your Youth ’s warm and bright in her light, friend Willy—and so may it
be to the end!
