YOUTHFUL AGE by ANACREON

First Line: YOUNG MEN DANCING, AND THE OLD
Last Line: FOR HIS HEART BELIES HIS HAIRS.
Subject(s): AGING;

YOUNG men dancing, and the old
Sporting I with joy behold;
But an old man gay and free
Dancing most I love to see;
Age and youth alike he shares,
For his heart belies his hairs.
