A certain rabbin, upon the text; Your young Tiffany Chains men that see visions, and your old men that dream dreams; inferreth, that young men are admitted nearer to God than old; because vision is a clearer revelation, than a dream. And certainly, me more a man drinketh Tiffany Accessories of the world, the more it intoxicateth; and age doth profit rather in the powers of understanding, man in the virtues of me will and affections.
There be some have an over-early ripeness in their years, which fadeth betimes: these are first, Tiffany Sets such as have brittle Tiffany Rings wits, Tiffany Pendants the edge Tiffany Necklaces whereof is soon turned; such as was Hermogenes the Rhetorician, whose books are exceeding subtle; who afterwards waxed stupid.
A second sort is of those, that have some natural dispositions, which have
better grace in youth, than in age: such as is a fluent and luxuriant speech; which
becomes youth well, but not age: so Tully saith of Hortentius; idem manebat, neque
idem decdxtt.
