Quote

Old books, old wine, old Nankin blue- All things, in short, to which belong The charm, the grace that Time makes strong, All these I prize, but (entre nous) Old friends are best!

O, Love's but a dance, Where Time plays the fiddle! See the couples advance - O, Love's but a dance! A whisper, a glance, Shall we twirl down the middle? O, Love's but a dance, Where Time plays the fiddle!

All passes, Art alone Enduring stays to us The Bust out-lasts the throne,-- The coin, Tiberius.
