Age (Old) - Activity and Strength in
Poem★★★Tho’ I look old, yet I am strong and lusty;
For in my youth I never did apply
Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood;
Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo
The means of weakness and debility;
Therefore my age is as a lusty winter,
Frosty, but kindly.
— Shakespeare
Shakespeare.
The point
A poetic assertion that though appearing old in years, one can remain strong by never indulging in excess; aging can be like a lusty winter—frosty but kindly.
