YE ANCIENT DOCTOR

“Each son of Sol, to make him look more big,
Wore an enormous, grave, three-tailed wig;

His clothes full trimmed, with button-holes behind;
Stiff were the skirts, with buckram stoutly lined;

The cloth-cut velvet, or more reverend black,
Full made and powdered half way down his back;

Large muslin cuffs, which near the ground did reach,
With half a dozen buttons fixed to each.

Grave were their faces—fixed in solemn state;
These men struck awe; their children carried weight.

In reverend wigs old heads young shoulders bore;
And twenty-five or thirty seemed threescore.”
