From John Wilmot

John Wilmot, excerpt from A Satire Against Mankind (1679)
--------------------
Then Old Age, and Experience, hand in hand,
Lead him to death, and make him understand,
After a Search so painful, and so long,
That all his Life he has been in the wrong.

Перевод:
Состарившись и много испытав,
У гробовой черты он смог понять:
Труды, борьба - всё обратится в прах,
И жизнь тебя оставит в дураках
