For age with stealing steps
Hath clawed me with his clutch,
And lusty life away she leaps,
As there had been none such.


'The Aged Lover Renounceth Love' (1557); a garbled version is sung by the gravedigger in Hamlet


For age with stealing steps Hath clawed me with his clutch, And lusty life away she leaps, As there had been none such.

For age with stealing steps Hath clawed me with his clutch, And lusty life away she leaps, As there had been none such.

For age with stealing steps Hath clawed me with his clutch, And lusty life away she leaps, As there had been none such.

For age with stealing steps Hath clawed me with his clutch, And lusty life away she leaps, As there had been none such.
