The Seven Ages of Man(from As You Like It, II, vii)by William ShakespeareAll the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
Then the whining 2 school-boy, with his satchel 3
And shining morning face, creeping like snail 4
Unwillingly 5 to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad 6
Made to his mistress' eyebrow 7. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly 8 with good capon lin'd,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch 9 on side;
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly 10 voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere 1 oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
