Leigh Hunt, in "Jenny Kissed Me", in The Monthly Chronicle (November 1838).
“
Jenny kissed me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets into your list, put that in. Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have missed me; Say I'm growing old, but add Jenny kissed me.
— Leigh Hunt on Jane Welsh Carlyle

Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have missed me; Say I'm growing old, but add Jenny kissed me." in the context of "Leigh Hunt, in "Jenny Kissed Me", in The Monthly Chronicle (November 1838)." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
