Re: Interesting Anecdotes from the Past
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.”
