4. THE SEVEN AGES OF MAN
• All the word’s a stage ,
• And all the men and women merely players,
• They have their exits and entrances,
• And one man in his time plays many parts,
• His acts being seven ages .

5. INFANCY
• At first the infant,
• Mewling and pucking in the nurse’s arms,

6. SCHOOL BOY
• Then , the whining school boy with his satchel
• And shining morning face , creeping like snail
• Unwillingly to school .

7. LOVER
• And then the lover,
• Sighing like furnace , with a woeful ballad
• Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.

8. SOLDIER
• Then a soldier,
• Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
• Jealous in honor, sudden, and quick in quarrel,
• Seeking the bubble reputation
• Even in the cannon’s mouth.

9. ADULTHOOD
• And then the justice
• In the fair round belly, 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.

10. MIDDLE-AGE
• The sixth age shifts
• Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon ,
• With spectales on nose , and pouch on side ,
• His youthful hose well sav’d , a world too wide ,
• For his shrunk sank , and a big manly voice ,
• Turning again towards childish treble , pipes
• And whistles in his sound .

11. OLD-AGE
• Last scene of all,
• That ends the strange eventful history,
• Is second childishness and mere oblivion
• Sans teeth , sans eyes , sans taste , sans everything .

12. REFERENCE
• A monologue from William Shakespeare’s “As you like it” , spoken
by the melancholy jaques in Act 2 scene 7 .
