Of no distemper, of no blast he died,But fell like autumn fruit that mellowed long - Even wondered at, because he dropped no sooner.Fate seemed to wind him up for fourscore years,Yet freshly ran he on ten winters more;Till like a clock worn out with eating time,The wheels of weary life at last stood still.

Anthony Giddens

Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no.

It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you.
