All the world's a mass of folly Youth is gay age melancholy: Youth is spending age is thrifty Mad at twenty cold at fifty Man is nought but folly's slave From the cradle to the grave.

About W. H. Ireland
William Henry Ireland (1775–1835) was an English forger of would-be Shakespearean documents and plays. He is less well known as a poet, writer of gothic novels and histories. Although he was apparently christened William-Henry, he was known as Samuel through much of his life (apparently after a brother who died in childhood), and many sources list his name as Samuel William Henry Ireland.
