Lord Burghersh was a keen amateur composer, credited with the founding of the Royal Academy of Music in 1823.

Lyrics: William Shakespeare
Crabbed age and youth
Cannot live together;
Youth is full of pleasance,
Age is full of care;
Youth is nimble, age is tame.
Youth is hot and bold,
Age is weak and cold;
Youth is wild and age is tame.
Age, I do abhor thee;
Youth, I do adore thee.
Crabbed age and youth
Cannot live together;
Youth is full of pleasance,
Age is full of care;
Youth is nimble, age is tame.
Youth is hot and bold,
Age is weak and cold;
Youth is wild and age is tame.
Age, I do abhor thee;
Youth, I do adore thee.
