Original

I grow old . . . I grow old . . .                                              
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. 

Interpretation

Despite his previous attempts at hiding the inevitability of age, he seems to come back to reality. Perhaps this stanza serves as a comic relief to the reader?
