The ARGUMENT.

When I reflect on Age, I find there are
Four Causes, which its Misery declare.
1. Because our Bodies Strength it much impairs;
2. That it takes off our Minds from great Affairs:
3. Next, that our Sense of Pleasures it deprives:
4. Last, That approaching Death attends our Lives.
Of all these sev'ral Causes I'll discourse,
And then of each, in Order, weigh the force.
