Kill a swallow,

And reduce it to ashes with a shepherd’s crook

Whilst drying some leaves.

Then mix it with the urine of young men

Who are unacquainted with copulation (lit. knowledge of matrimony).

Smear (lit. pollute) it upon the hair (esp. of goats and camels, but sometimes men)

and it [the hair] rejuvenates handsomely.
