Page 60 - The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side ; His youthful hose well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank ; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes , And whistles in his sound.

Now, in respect it is in the fields, it pleaseth me well ; but in respect it is not in the Court, it is tedious.
