lirik lagu mat williams - ages of man
[verse 1]
in prime of years, when i was young
i took delight in youthful toys
not knowing then what did belong
unto the pleasure of those days
at seven years old i was a child
and subject for to be beguiled
[verse 2]
at twice seven, i must needs go learn
what discipline was taught at school
what good from evil i could discern
i thought myself no more a fool
my parents were contriving then
how i might live when i became a man
[verse 3]
at three times seven, i wexed wild
and manhood led me to be bold
i thought mysеlf no more a child
my own conceit it so me told
thеn i did venture far and near
to buy delight at price full dear
[verse 4]
at four time seven i must take a wife
and leave off all my wanton ways
thinking thereby perhaps to thrive
and save myself from sad disgrace
so fare ye well, companions all
for other business doth me call
[verse 5]
at five times seven, i would go prove
what i could gain by art or sk!ll
but still against the stream i strove
i bowled stones up against the hill
the more i labored with might and main
the more i strove against the stream
[verse 6]
at six time seven, all covetness
began to harbor in my breast
my mind then still contriving was
how i might gain all worldly wealth
to purchase lands, and live on them
to make my children mighty men
[verse 7]
at seven times seven, all worldly care
began to harbor in my brain
then i did drink a heavy draught
of water of experience plain
then none so ready was as i
to purchase, bargain, sell or buy
[verse 8]
at eight times seven, i wexed old
i took myself unto my rest
my neighbors then my counsel craved
and i was held in great request
but age did so abate my strength
that i was forced to yield at length
[verse 9]
at nine times seven, i must take leave
of all my carnal vain delight
and then full sore it did me grieve
i fetched up many a bitter sigh
to rise up early and sit up late
i was no longer fit, my strength did abate
[verse 10]
at ten times seven, my glass was run
and i, poor silly man, must die
i looked up, and saw the sun
was overcome with crystal sky
now i must this world forsake
another man my place must take
[verse 11]
now you see within the glass
the whole estate of mortal man
how they from seven to seven do pass
until they are three score and ten
and when their glass is fully run
they must leave off where they first begun
