What has become of the cast-off coats

That covered Will Shakespeare’s back?

What has become of the old row-boats

Of Kidd and his pirate pack?

Where are the scarfs that Lord Byron wore?

Where are poor Shelley’s cuffs?

What has become of that wondrous store

Of Queen Elizabeth’s ruffs?

Where are the slippers of Ferdinand?

Where are Marc Antony’s clothes?
