Hi! The poem is about age and youth and their differences. Shakespeare says age and youth cannot live together, he doesn't mean that literally. He means that young people are different than old people, and that he wished he was young again, with full of energy and being acvtive.

What does the last two lines of 'A Madrigal of William shakespeare mean?

Presumably you are alluding to the verse "Crabbed Age and Youth" to which the editor of the Harvard Classics gave the dull and unhelpful name "A Madrigal" in 1909. This was one of the verses found in the collection called A Passionate Pilgrim which publisher William Jaggard issued in 1599. Although the collection is attributed to Shakespeare, it is a cheap and shoddily assembled volume which contains a number of verses which are certainly by other poets, and contains a number where the attribution to Shakespeare is dubious (as well as some where Shakespeare's authorship is certain). This verse is one of the dubious ones. It certainly lacks the finesse which even the immature Shakespeare shows, with its lack of a coherent rhyme scheme, its monotonous reiteration of contrasting words for age and youth, and the surprise appearance of a shepherd for some unknown reason in the second-to-last line. There are no metaphors in the poem, although there are similes in four consecutive lines "like summer morn", "like winter weather", "like summer brave", and "like winter bare". There are numerous personifications of youth and age.
