Old Age
Vergil, Aeneid 5.394-396 (Entellus speaking; tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):
Newer› ‹Older
'Tis not that love of fame is gone, or pride, routed by fear; but my blood is chilled and dulled by sluggish age, and my strength of body is numb and lifeless.
non laudis amor nec gloria cessit
pulsa metu, sed enim gelidus tardante senecta
sanguis hebet, frigentque effetae in corpore vires.
