Verse 1.27.28

शोभोज्ज्वला दैववशाद्विनष्टा गुणाः स्थिताः संप्रति जर्जरत्वे ।
आश्वासनादूरतरं प्रयाता जनस्य हेमन्त इवाम्बुजस्य ॥ २८ ॥

śobhojjvalā daivavaśādvinaṣṭā guṇāḥ sthitāḥ saṃprati jarjaratve |
āśvāsanādūrataraṃ prayātā janasya hemanta ivāmbujasya || 28 ||

The blooming beauty and graces (of youth), are destined to be snatched away at the approach of old age. The youthful hopes also of men fly at a distance like the bloom of lotus buds in winter.
