  • The short bloom of our brief and narrow life flies fast away. While we are calling for flowers and wine and women, old age is upon us.
    [Lat., Festinat enim decurrere velox
    Flosculus angustae miseraeque brevissima vitae
    Portico; dum bibimus dum sera unguenta puellas
    Poscimus obrepit non intellecta senectus.]
