1. Welcome and greetings to the grays, for it is
The mark of dignity and adornment of the virtuous one

2. My gray hair appears like strands of glowing pearls
In the crown of a king, more splendid than royalty

3. Nothing is finer than new grays arriving
With wisdom, having shed reckless youth

4. A guest who made me embrace temperance, so I hosted him
Rejecting wantonness, now on the path of moderation
