OLD AGE
Illustration★★★★Remember that some of the brightest drops in the
chalice of life may still remain for us in old age. The last
draught which a kind Providence gives us to drink, though
near the bottom of the cup, may, as is said of the draught
of the Roman of old, have at the very bottom, instead of
dregs, most costly pearls.
The point
Like the final draught from a Roman cup, life's last season may hold precious pearls instead of dregs—suggesting old age can be most valuable.
