1. I said to a black man with gray hair,
Do you want some of my youthful locks?

2. Take them, even if you don't like the idea-
They'll last as long as my lifetime.

3. He said, How different we two are!
Your offer doesn't suit me.

4. You've lived sixty years, and a little more;
I'm only ten years past that score.

5. There's no cure for your condition-
Just keep drinking patience to the lees!
