: Three Score Years and Ten

: (sounds like some American speech)

You're thinking of the Gettysburg Address, which starts
"Fourscore and seven". This is from the Bible: "The days of
our years are threescore years and ten" --Ps 90:10 (KJV)
B A is nowhere to be found, but Biblical Age is reasonable;
the passage is often quoted as describing the average
human lifespan.

There was some poem or riddle which had a phrase something like, "Now,
of my
three score years and ten, [some number] will never come again." I don't
remember the question, but B A might be the author's initials. (Abe
Lincoln's
was, "Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brough forth on this
continent
a new nation, concieved in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that
all
men are created equal..." and so on.)

Moo!
