Full fortie yeares are past, their date is gone,
Since happy time ioyn'd both our hearts as one :
And now the blood that fill'd my youthfull veines
Runnes weakely in their pipes, and all the straines
Of musicke, which whilome pleasde mine eare,
Is now a burthen that Age cannot beare :
And therefore sweete Nature must pay his due,
To heauen must I, and leaue the earth with you.
—— Hamlet, by Shakespeare
<b>四朝十年逐旧日,
此昔美景孖心合;
热血腾腾朝阳岁,
排管羸弱渐凝心;
旧时悦耳今朝负,
馨徳天性轮复还;
吾愿登天寻情路,
去封别故随君途。</b>
