Starost' ne radost'

[Robert A. Rothstein]

And then there's the even more pessimistic Polish version: Starosc nie 
radosc, a smierc nie pociecha. [Starość nie radość, a śmierć nie 
pociecha.] I should point out that Polish "pociecha" and Russian 
"potekha" are false cognates: the Polish word means "consolation."
