An Aged Man in His Winter Garment

The aged men of Pomeiooc are covered with a large skin which is tied upon their shoulders on one side and hangeth down beneath their knees. They wear their other arm naked out of the skin, that they may be at more liberty. Those skins are dressed with the hair at all to grow upon their faces but as soon as they grow up they put them away, but when they come to older years they suffer them to grow although to say truth they come up very thin. They also wear their hair bound up behind, and have a crest on their heads like the others. The country about this place is so fruitful and good that England is not to be compared to it.
