Understanding this quote
The speaker wishes to postpone death for as long as possible. “Not only of old age” adds a desire to reach a very late age, while “with extreme slowness” intensifies the wish for death itself to come gradually rather than suddenly. The wording stretches the desire for continued life to its furthest limit.
