PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT to PARSON

PANTALOON.— The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon;
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again towards childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.

PARADISE.—The paradise of fools, to few unknown.
