You have used me and spent me and

A STUDY IN LONGEVITY

The horse and mule live 80 years,
They never taste light wine and beers
Sheep and goats are dead at 20,
They drink no liquor-water plenty
At Is dogs are mostly dead,
They look not on the wine when red.
AT 10 the cats lost all nine lives
No beast on milk and water thrives.
