14. God, in the next seven years, to him grants ev'ry pow'r of production; Thus soon commands man, sacred, to look on the sex. 21. Thirdly, his beard, while it roughens his chin; and his limbs, freely playing, Grow lust'rously-bright, changing their flowery hue. 28. Fourth, in this sev'n-fold older, the _man_ very speedily shoots forth, Mighty in muscular limbs, proud of his vigour and strength. {241} 35. Fifth, in maturity, glowing in health, with his heart in the right place, Let him, wisdom-join'd, think upon children to come. 42. Sixth, let him carefully ponder on things of importance to mankind; Disdaining whate'er, formerly, foolish he sought. 49. Seventh, in mind or in tongue is he best, either one or the other: 56. Eighth, both join'd in excelling, for a term of fourteen. 63. Ninth, he declines in his powers of force, and the deeds of his youthhood; Shorn of the vigour of manhood, he awaits his recall. 70. God in the tenth of the seven, mature, all his functions develop'd, Consigns him, full ripe, darkly to sleep in the dust. So far Solon. Tusser quaintly but wisely: "Man's age divided here ye have, By 'prenticeships, from birth to grave. 7. The first seven years bring up as a child, 14. The next to learning, for waxing too wild. 21. The next, keep under Sir Hobbard de Hoy; 28. The next, a man, no longer a boy. 35. The next, let Lusty lay wisely to wive; 42. The next, lay now, or else never to thrive. 49. The next, make sure for term of thy life; 56. The next, save somewhat for children and wife. 63. The next, be stayd, give over thy lust; 70. The next, think hourly, whither thou must. 77. The next, get chair and crutches to stay; 84. The next, to heaven God send us the way! Who loseth their youth shall rue it in age. Who hateth the truth in sorrow shall rage." T. J. BUCKTON.

ARROWSMITH'S assertion respecting this phrase; because, from its dogmatic tone, it is calculated to mislead readers, and perhaps editors. He maintains that this is a good concord, and pronounces Johnson and Collier (myself, of course, included) to be "unacquainted with the usage of their own tongue, and the universal language of thought," for not discerning it.
