“Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did and does smack sweet.”

"At the 'Mermaid'"(1876) <!-- line 72 - 80 -->
Context: Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did and does smack sweet.
Was your youth of pleasure wasteful?
Mine I save and hold complete.
Do your joys with age diminish?
When mine fail me, I'll complain.
Must in death your daylight finish?
My sun sets to rise again.
