sic aevi mortalis habet se mobilis ordo, sic variat natura vices: infantia repit, infirmus titubat pueri gressusque animusque, sanguine praecalido fervet nervosa iuventa, mox stabilita venit maturi roboris aetas; ultima consiliis melior, sed viribus aegra, corpore subcumbit mentem purgata senectus.
Such is the changing succession of ages in man, such, one after another, the variations of his nature. Infancy creeps; the childs step, like its purpose, is weak and unsteady; vigorous youth burns with hot blood; then comes the steadfast age of ripe strength; and last of all old age, better in counsel but feeble in energy, declines in body though its mind is cleared.
