While the Sunne] Before the sight of thine eyes grow dimme. Or, before thy most delightful and pleasant things begin to grow unwelcome, unpleasant to thee. The darknesse of lights about them, as of the Sun, candles, torches, &c. Whence we need Spectacles. Returning of the clouds after the raine, alludes to the winterly state of old age. In summer after raine, the clouds break up, and fair weather comes. Not so in winter. So in youth—Not so in old age— nor the clouds return] One grief comes upon the neck of another, as the billows of the sea wallow and tumble upon the back one of another. A proverbial speech, as Psal. XLII. 7.
