And so he plays his part. The sixth stage slips

Into the lean and slippery pantaloon,

With icicle on nose, and stick in hand,

His India-rubber shoes a world too large

For his shrunk feet; and his poor trembling knees

Straggling apart like childish helplessness,

He tumbles on the ground! Last scene of all

That ends this cold and frosty history

Is a sharp wind—upsetting everyone,

Sans stick, sans cloak, sans hat, sans everything.
