The works of John Dryden, now first collected in eighteen volumes. Volume 14

He seems at forty to be fully in his summer tropic; somewhat before, and somewhat after, he finds in his soul but small increases or decays.

人到四十，似乎正值盛夏；在此前后，他的内心几乎感觉不到明显的增进或衰退。

Powerful of blessings, which thou strew'st around, And with thy goddess mother's myrtle crowned.

你慷慨施恩于四方，头戴母亲女神的桃金娘花冠。
