When you are old, at evening candlelit, Beside the fire bending to your wool, Read out my verse and murmur, "Ronsard writ This praise for me when I was beautiful."
Pierre de Ronsard (1524 - 1585)

Gather, gather your youth: Just like this flower, old age Your beauty will wither.

Live now, believe me, wait not till tomorrow; Gather the roses of life today.
