In the poem, Dunbar attacks through these identifications to the legal institution, represented by a judge, who is described wearing a black mask, also refers to the medical institution, as it describes a doctor wearing a white mask; and finally attacks the institution of the Church, because Dunbar describes a minister, with his eldest son.
