My vigor is gone away, and my ruddy complexion has left me; my bones are covered with a ghastly skin; my hair with your preparations is grown hoary.

I at that time will ride on your odious shoulders; and the whole earth shall acknowledge my unexampled power.	./cache/horace-works_120.txt	./txt/horace-works_120.txt
