Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Pantaloon

The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon;
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again towards childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.
Shakespeare.—As You Like It, Act II. Scene 7.
