Old Bachelor (VIII -- There'll Be Time Enough for That)

DESCRIPTION: "When I was a schoolboy age ten, Oh might little Greek I knew." He ignores it to go play; "There's be time enough for that, said I." He puts off his tailor. He courts girls, but never marries. Now he's old and alone, and warns "There's no time to be lost"
