themselves_o by_o hunt_v hawk_v fish_v they_o can_v neither_o well_o ride_v abroad_o nor_o walk_v about_o home_n they_o have_v do_v with_o visit_n and_o feast_n and_o music_n all_o the_o recreation_n of_o sense_n be_v general_o tasteless_a to_o they_o yea_o they_o have_v scarce_o any_o pleasure_n in_o their_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o sleep_v so_o that_o their_o condition_n seem_v to_o be_v sad_a and_o lamentable_a and_o we_o have_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o this_o confess_v by_o a_o old_a man_n himself_o namely_o barzillai_n 2_o sam._n 19_o 35._o i_o be_o this_o day_n fourscore_o year_n

pleasure_n a_o constant_a sadness_n take_v place_n in_o their_o countenance_n without_o and_o as_o may_v be_v judge_v in_o their_o heart_n within_o sob_n and_o sigh_n be_v the_o accent_n of_o their_o language_n and_o their_o complaint_n be_v frequent_o mix_v with_o tear_n their_o condition_n then_o must_v needs_o be_v miserable_a when_o they_o have_v such_o constant_a heaviness_n within_o and_o no_o recreation_n without_o to_o alleviate_v it_o company_n burden_v they_o and_o solitariness_n sadden_v they_o yea_o they_o be_v loath_a that_o any_o body_n shall_v be_v merry_a about_o they_o so_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o lead_v a_o dolorous_a life_n and_o to_o be_v estrange_v from_o all_o manner_n of_o pleasure_n now_o pleasure_n be_v the_o life_n of_o life_n what_o be_v life_n without_o delight_n why_o do_v man_n toil_n to_o get_v estate_n but_o for_o the_o pleasure_n they_o take_v in_o they_o why_o do_v other_o hunt_v for_o applause_n and_o climb_v for_o honour_n but_o to_o please_v their_o fancy_n and_o their_o humour_n even_o the_o scholar_n will_v take_v leave_n of_o his_o book_n if_o he_o have_v not_o delight_n in_o they_o so_o that_o pleasure_n act_v all_o mankind_n and_o rule_v the_o world_n now_o those_o year_n be_v lamentable_a wherein_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o they_o and_o this_o make_v some_o old_a people_n weary_a of_o their_o life_n they_o reckon_v that_o a_o life_n strip_v of_o joy_n and_o comfort_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o keep_n nevertheless_o old-age_n may_v support_v itself_o very_o well_o under_o this_o inconvenience_n inasmuch_o as_o the_o pleasure_n they_o be_v deprive_v of_o be_v in_o themselves_o and_o to_o their_o experience_n dangerous_a enjoyment_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o disorder_n and_o full_o the_o soul_n than_o carnal_a pleasure_n those_o very_a recreation_n which_o may_v be_v harmless_a in_o themselves_o yet_o too_o common_o lead_v to_o intemperance_n to_o lasciviousness_n to_o quarrel_n and_o other_o mischief_n now_o if_o a_o dish_n be_v never_o so_o palatable_a yet_o if_o there_o be_v but_o danger_n of_o poison_n in_o it_o no_o wise_a man_n will_v
