It is better to be
An old man's derling than a yong man's werling.
Why may not a goose say thus: "All the parts of the universe I have an interest in: the earth serves me to walk upon, the sun to light me; the stars have their influence upon me; I have such an advantage by the winds and such by the waters; there is nothing that yon heavenly roof looks upon so favourably as me. I am the darling of Nature! Is it not man that keeps and serves me?"
And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin
Is pride that apes humility.
The Frenchman's darling.
The poet's darling.
