Image: Roses - fresh youth and withered old age (here)
Fresh of youth intense
good looks Herculean in strength
Reckless a tad bit
Will win hearts of fair maidens
Nary those that hesitate
Withered in old age
But strong oak that stood fair ground
Bastion of honor
For lady that stayed with him
Elegant pair of blessed souls
