    “For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
    For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
    For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
    For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
    For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
    For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
    —Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)

    Admit impediments. Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or bends with the remover to remove.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
