They soon grow old who grope for gold
III marts where all is bought and sold;
Who lives for self and on some shelf
In darkened vaults hoard up their pelf,
Cankered and crusted over with mold,
For them their youth itself is old.

Where sun arise in joyous skies,
And fill the soul within the eyes,

never been scared since he had loaded an
cid Queen Anne musket for his father
