It is well-known that The Plague Doctor eschews All Hallows' Eve. My costume is quite functional and serves me in my work.
My wide-brimmed hat marks me as a physician, as the miter might betray a priest.
My spectacles are unique to my brotherhood. They possess one rose-tinted lens, it is true, but my outlook is not positively skewed thereby. My Hope is reasonable, after all, and the other lens may be green or blue. My world view is anaglyphic, at least, with more dimension than most.
My mask is filled with frankincense and myrrh, to ward off foul humor and foul humors.
My coat and breeches protect me from the nip of the pest and Die Pest also.
My cane serves as scientific probe, conductor's baton, last-ditch defense. I pray I shall not bear it in vain.
And thus I am accoutered for my work amidst The Plague.
