The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne,
Burnt on the water : the poop was beaten gold ;
Purple the sails, and so perfum'd that
The winds were love-sick with them; the oars were

Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water, which they beat, to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes. For her own person,
It beggar'd all description.*

Cannot live together;

Age is full of care ;
Youth like summer morn,

Age like winter weather ;
Youth like summer brave;
Age like winter bare.
