The first, young-winged, rose crowned, i and garbed in white, j (irasping an ivory goblet, cometli j straight. | The second, clad in robes of sober grey, ! Stained with experience is his brow; a j staff Supports one hand, the other bids man quaff A cup of horn. The third, what time I the day Swoons at the feet of night, draws ; near, as one O’eroome with age whose faint and feeble steps Can scarce uphold him further on his way. , Sable his robes.
