    If I live to grow old, as I find I go down,
    Let this be my fate in a country town;
    May I have a warm house, with a stone at my gate,
    And a cleanly young girl to rub my bald pate.
    May I govern my passions with an absolute sway,
    Grow wiser and better as my strength wears away,
    Without gout or stone, by a gentle decay.
    - Walter Pope, The Old Man's Wish,
