ON SIM AND SIMON by CHARLES COTTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOUGH SIM, WHILST SIM, IN ILL REPUTE DID LIVE
Last Line: SIMON'S A KNAVE AT LENGTH, AND NOT IN FIGURE.
Subject(s): NAMES; SIZE & SHAPE; HEIGHT;
THOUGH Sim, whilst Sim, in ill repute did live,
He yet was but a knave diminutive;
But now his name being swell'd two letters bigger,
Simon's a knave at length, and not in figure.
