• Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed
  Their snow-white blossoms on my head,
  With brightest sunshine round me spread
  Of spring's unclouded weather,
  In this sequestered nook how sweet
  To sit upon my orchard-seat!
  And birds and flowers once more to greet,
  My last year's friends together.

• Of no distemper, of no blast he died,
  But fell like autumn fruit that mellow'd long:
  Even wonder'd at, because he dropp'd no sooner.
  Fate seem'd to wind him up for fourscore years;
  Yet freshly ran he on ten winters more;
  Till like a clock worn out with eating time,
  The wheels of weary life at last stood still.

  John Dryden
