To the old, long life

1. To the old, long life and treasure,
To the young, all health and pleasure,
To the fair, their face
With eternal grace,
And the foul to be loved at leisure.

2. To the witty, all clear mirrors,
To the foolish, their dark errors,
To the loving sprite,
A secure delight,
To the jealous, his own false terrors.
