THE ARGUMENT.
When I reflect on Age, I find there areFour Causes, which its Misery declare.1. Because our Bodies Strength it much impairs;2. That it takes off our Minds from great Affairs:3. Next, That our Sense of Pleasures it deprives:4. Last, That approaching Death attends our Lives.Of all these several Causes I'le discourse,And then of each, in Order, weigh the force.
