EPIGRAM by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "WHILE HIS BEARD HAS GROWN GRAY, BLACK AS EVER REMAIN"
Last Line: THE BRAIN HAS HAD LITTLE OR NOTHING TO DO
Subject(s): ITALY;REASON;TALK; ITALIANS;INTELLECT;RATIONALISM;BRAIN;MIND;INTELLECTUALS;
WHILE his beard has grown gray, black as ever remain
The hairs of his head, and the reason is plain:
The jaws have been hard at work all his life through,
The brain has had little or nothing to do.
