Question

That the spectacles plainly were made for the nose, and the nose was as plainly intended for them . Explain​

Answer 1

These lines are from the famous humorous poem The Nose and the Eyes written by William Cowper.

This poem is about a dispute between the eyes and the nose regarding who was the real owner of the spectacles. The dispute reached a court where the tongue fought the case as lawyer; the ear functioned as the jury.  

This line was spoken by the tongue to prove that spectacles logically belonged to the nose.  

The wise jury passed an order according to which the nose could own the spectacles but the eyes would be shut as long as the spectacles would be on the nose.
