I have read one interesting poem somethere in Internets, but where is a few word which I can't translate:
"When as a child I laughed and wept, time crept.
When as a youth I waxed more bold, time strolled.
When I became a full-grown man, time RAN.
When older still I daily grew, time FLEW.
Soon I shall find, in passing on, time gone.
O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then? Amen."
What does [I waxed more bold] and [Soon I shall find, in passing on] means?
Thank you.
