Life's seasons

The George Long translation of 1862:

For such as it is to be young and to grow old, and to increase and to reach maturity, and to have teeth and beard and grey hairs, and to beget, and to be pregnant and to bring forth, and all the other natural operations which the seasons of thy life bring, such also is dissolution.  Marcus Aurelius.  Meditations.  Book 9.

Chrystal's 2017 rendering based on the Foulis translation of 1742:

For even as it is to be young, to be old, to grow up, to be full grown, even as it is to breed teeth, and beard, and to grow grey, to beget, to go with child, to be delivered, and to undergo all the effects of nature which life’s seasons bring, such is it also to be dissolved in death.  Marcus Aurelius.  Meditations.  Book 9.
