When forty winters shall beseige thy brow

And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field.

The youth's proud livery, so gazed on now,

Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held:

Then being asked where all thy beauty lies,

Where all the treasure of thy lusty days,

To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,

Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.

How much more praise deserved thy beauty's use,

If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine

Shall sum my count and make my old excuse'

Proving his beauty by succession thine!

This were to be new made when thou art old,

And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold

Some of the smalles asset management computer programs include the following AMT Direct and Alloy Navigator. Both have high ratings.

George Thriftless is 45 years old, earns $50,000 per year, and expects that his future earnings will keep pace with inflation, but will not exceed inflation. He has not yet saved anything toward his retirement. His company does not offer any pension plan. George pays Social Security taxes equal to 7.5% of his salary, and he assumes that when he retires at age 65, he will receive $ 12,000 per year in inflation-adjusted Social Security benefits for the rest of his life. His life expectancy is age 85. George buys a book on retirement planning that recommends saving enough so that when private savings and Social Security are combined, he can replace 80% of his preretirement salary. George buys a financial calculator and goes through the following calculations: First, he computes the amount he will need to receive in each year of retirement to replace 80% of his salary: 0

Here is Shakespeare's Sonnet 2:

When forty winters shall beseige thy brow,

And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,

Thy youth's proud livery, so gazed on now,

Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held:

Then being ask'd where all thy beauty lies,

Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;

To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,

Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.

How much more praise deserved thy beauty's use,

If thou couldst answer 'This fair child of mine

Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,'

Proving his beauty by succession thine!

This were to be new made when thou art old,

And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.

As with Petrarchian sonnets, this one is divided into an octet and sestet, with a volta or change in perspective after the last line of the octet, the eighth line of the poem. The octet sets up a picture of an elderly person who has lost all of his (although it might just as well be her) beauty, and the sestet moves on to suggest that the old are renewed in their children, and their faded beauty is reborn in them.

In Act 2 Scene 4 of the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', the noble Scotsman Ross is discussing the murder with Macduff. The conversation goes like this:

Ross: Is it known who did this more than bloody deed?

Macduff: Those who Macbeth hath slain.

Ross: Alas the day! What good could they pretend?

Macduff: They were suborn'd. Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, are stol'n away and fled, which puts on them suspicion of the deed.

Ross: 'Gainst nature still: Thriftless ambition that will ravin up thine own life's means!

So, suspicion of the murder has fallen, as Lady Macbeth intended, on Duncan's grooms. However, they had no motive to kill Duncan. (As Ross says, what good could they pretend or expect to get out of it?) So the theory then becomes that they were suborned, were paid to commit the murder by someone. And the natural suspect is the person who has been publicly declared to be Duncan's chosen heir, which is Malcolm. Malcolm is even more suspect because he fled the scene.

Ross says, "Against nature still!" because what could be more contrary to nature than to kill your own parent? And then he goes on to say that the ambition which would take away the means that one has life, which is to say one's parents, is pretty reckless. That's a pretty high price to pay to become king.

The expression "thine own life's means" can only mean "your own parents". Ross can only be talking about Malcolm here. What Ross is saying is that he believes (at this point anyway) that Malcolm was responsible for his father's murder. If he thought otherwise he doesn't say so.

Ross never again comments on who is responsible for Duncan's murder, but we assume that by the time we get to Act 4 Scene 3, he no longer believes that it was Malcolm.
