1. How often, for love of the down upon a youthful cheek, have we granted pardon to one who

    loves it: “You are excused,” whenever he comes to plead his case.

  2. Nor have we censured anyone for loving beards

    who fell madly for them; we said, “The matter can be forgiven.”

  3. Then how could we turn a blind eye to love of old men? Can

    gray hair ever hold any beauty, O Durar?
