\n

A boy, an ungrown child, in seven years puts forth
\n    a line of teeth and loses them again;
\nbut when another seven God has made complete,
\n    the first signs of maturity appear.
\nIn the third hebdomad he’s growing yet, his chin
\n    is fuzzy, and his skin is changing hue,
\nwhile in the fourth one, each achieves his peak of strength,
\n    the thing that settles whether men are men.
\nThe fifth is time a man should think of being wed
\n    and look for sons to carry on his line;
\nand by the sixth he’s altogether sensible,
\n    no more disposed to acts of fecklessness.
\nWith seven hebdomads and eight — fourteen more years —
\n    wisdom and eloquence are at their peak,
\nwhile in the ninth, though he’s still capable, his tongue
\n    and expertise have lost some of their force.
\nShould he complete the tenth and reach the measured line,
\n    not before time he’d have his due of death.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
