Cana est barba tibi...

Here is today's distich by Martial, 4.36:

Cana est barba tibi, nigra est coma: tinguere barbam
non potes - haec causa est - et potes, Ole, comam.

Thy beard is hoary; but they locks are black:
To tinge the beard thou hast not yet the knack.
- Elphinston

Here is the vocabulary:

coma - hair, head of hair
tinguo - color, dye, tinge
non - not, no
