大法官：您的身上已經寫滿了老年的字樣，您還要把您的名字登記在少年人的名單裡嗎？您不是有一雙昏花的眼、一對乾癟的手、一張焦黃的臉、一把斑白的鬍鬚、兩條瘦下去的腿、一個胖起來的肚子嗎？您的聲音不是已經嗄啞，您的呼吸不是已經短促，您的下巴上不是多了一層肉，您的智慧不是一天一天空虛，您的全身每一部分不是都在老朽腐化，您卻還要自命為青年嗎？啐，啐，啐，約翰爵士！(朱生豪譯、吳興華校)
William Shakespeare
eek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly?
Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double,
your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity, and will you yet call yourself young?
Fie, fie, fie, Sir John!"
--Lord Chief Justice from "The Second Part of King Henry the Fourth" (Act I, Scene II)
Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double,
your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity, and will you yet call yourself young?
