كأنه التيس قد أودى به هرم

كأنه التيس قد أودى به هرم

فلا للحم ولا عسب ولا ثمن

فلا للحم ولا عسب ولا ثمن

As though he were a billy goat whom old age had done in—

He is like a billy goat laid low by old age,

fit neither for meat nor for breeding, and worth no price.

So of no use for meat or breeding, and worth nothing.
