 1 Praise|        short, I will follow that old proverb that says, “He may
 2 Praise|         half a dozen of the most old and obsolete to confound
 3 Praise|         where neither labor, nor old age, nor disease was ever
 4 Praise|        it comes to the burden of old age, not only hateful to
 5 Praise|          or friendship with that old man who to so large an experience
 6 Praise|       for this reason it is that old age dotes; and that it does
 7 Praise|     sometimes too, like Plautus’ old man, he returns to his three
 8 Praise|       and malicious; and that of old men, as he has it in another
 9 Praise|      prattling. Add to this that old men are more eagerly delighted
10 Praise|  children, and they, again, with old men. “Like to like,” quoted
11 Praise|     nearer they approach to this old age, by so much they grow
12 Praise|          know what it were to be old, but solace themselves with
13 Praise|      part you’ll find them grown old before they are scarcely
14 Praise|       hog, and never sensible of old age, unless perhaps, as
15 Praise|        keeps youth at a stay and old age afar off;” as it is
16 Praise|        sensible of the misery of old age, than they are. And
17 Praise|         terrible to everyone; or old Pan with his hubbubs; or
18 Praise|        of the gods? As also that old Silenus with his country
19 Praise|      other things as speak plain old age in a man, but from that
20 Praise|      never so ugly, and “that an old man dotes on his old wife,
21 Praise|          an old man dotes on his old wife, and a boy on his girl.”
22 Praise|   corrupted with the severity of old age? Lastly, what is that
23 Praise|     youth; how unsupportable our old age, and grievous our unavoidable
24 Praise|        is, that you have so many old Nestors everywhere that
25 Praise|   ashamed of. For to see such an old crooked piece with one foot
26 Praise|       sport of all is to see our old women, even dead with age,
27 Praise|           Life is sweet;” and as old as they are, still caterwauling,
28 Praise|          by sciences, which that old devil Theuth, the evil genius
29 Praise|     crassness, sore eyes, and an old age and death contracted
30 Praise|       what is it, I pray, to see old fellows and half blind to
31 Praise|        health, long life, lively old age, and the next place
32 Praise|          if, like the aediles of old, these were to present some
33 Praise|    somewhat, I know not what, of old Rome. The Venetians fancy
34 Praise|       take their learning, makes old men frolic, and, under the
35 Praise|        happens, fall but into an old wives’ story, they’re presently
36 Praise|     easiest attained by courting old childless men with presents;
37 Praise|      others again by making rich old women believe they love
38 Praise|        if a man like Menippus of old could look down from the
39 Praise|         or slaughterhouses—grown old among a company of boys,
40 Praise|        from pleasure, over-hasty old age, untimely death, and
41 Praise|         perfect knowledge of the Old and New Testaments; what
42 Praise|     bishops. To work miracles is old and antiquated, and not
43 Praise|         Here you’ll see decrepit old fellows acting the parts
44 Praise| reclaimed by argument; a crabbed old fellow, and one whose supercilious
45 Praise|        consider first that boys, old men, women, and fools are
46 Praise|     hodgepodge of words. ’Tis an old proverb, “I hate one that
