The Old Man's Comforts
I was reading a poem from Robert Southey and don't quite understand what "Let the cause thy attention engage" and "He hath not forgotten my age"means. I wonder if there's anyone who can help...^^ Thank you... I am cheerful, young man, Father William replied, |
Let the cause thy attention engage; |
In the days of my youth I remember’d my God! |
And He hath not forgotten my age. |

Let the cause thy attention engage meaning: Young man, pay attention to why it is that I am cheerful in my old age. And He hath not forgotten my age meaning: *** has not forgotten me in my old age because I paid attention to *** in my youth. Clear?
