Psalms 103:5
thy youth is renued like the Eagles] Thou keepest thy self fresh and vigorous, as in thy youth; thou returning to the dayes of thy youth, Job XXXIII. 25. And like the Eagles youth, or strength and vigour; which abides so long, even to and in old age, and length of very many years; and seemes to renew her youth by the casting of her feathers yearly, not her bill; the upper beak whereof groweth at last in an extreme old age, so to over-grow and bend over the lower beak, as causeth the Eagle to die of famine, not of feeblenesse, Arist. lib. 9. cap. 32. de historia animalium. See Esay XL. 31.
