Therefore my age is as a lusty winter,
Frosty, but kindly.
O, who can hold a fire in his hand
By thinking on the frosty Caucasus?
Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite
By bare imagination of a feast?
Or wallow naked in December snow
By thinking on fantastic summer's heat?
O, no! the apprehension of the good
Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
No clap of thunder in a fair frosty day could more astonish the world than our declaration of war against Holland in 1672.
