"_The Man in the Almanack._"--Will some kind correspondent favour me

with an elucidation of the phrase "Man in the Almanack," which occurs in

the following quotation from the epilogue to Nat. Lee's _Gloriana, or

the Court of Augustus Cæsar_?

"The ladies, too, neglecting every grace,

Mob'd up in night cloaths, came with lace to face,

The Towre upon the forehead all turn'd back,

And stuck with pins like th' Man i' th' Almanack."
