The ermine robe, the ’broider’d chasuble.

’Tis habit makes the man, the wearer’s naught.

The fool, when he is naked, shows as sage

As the philosopher so furnished;

The lout’s bare hide’s no worser than the king’s,

And, when their pride is fondly touch’d, all men

Are brothers. Did not each Athenian wight

Beholding all his fellows in their guise

Most strange and horrible, yet deem himself

Perch’d high above the reach of wizardry,
