Beautiful women hate the whiteness of gray hair,
The maidens abhor the whiteness of old age
and black hair in youth delights them.
And are pleased by the darkness in youth

And the gray of adulterers’ beards—may I be your ransom—
By your life! The gray hair of adulterers
is farting in beards, in the eyes of whores.
Is but a blemish in their beards in the eyes of critics
