Temperance.

Name: Beautiful Stories from Shakespeare - Temperance.
Author: Edith Nesbit

Though I look old, yet am I strong and lusty:
For in my youth I never did apply
Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood;
Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo
The means of weakness and debility:
Therefore my age is as a lusty winter,
Frosty, but kindly.
