7. "THE SEVEN AGES OF
MAN" WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

8. All 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;
And then the whining schoolboy, with his
satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like
snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. 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. And then the
justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
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 slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too
wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly
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 oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans
everything.

9. "The Seven Ages of Man" is a famous
monologue from William Shakespeare's
play "As You Like It.“
In this monologue, the character Jaques
describes the different stages of a
person's life, comparing them to
different acts in a play.

10. The summary of the seven ages of man is as follows:
Infancy: In the first stage, a person is like a helpless infant,
dependent on others for care and sustenance.
Childhood: As the person grows, they enter childhood, where
they are full of energy, curiosity, and playfulness. This stage is
characterized by a carefree and innocent outlook on life.
Lover: In the lover stage, a person experiences the intensity of
romantic emotions. They are infatuated with someone and are
driven by passion and desire.

11. Soldier: The soldier stage represents the time when a person
takes on responsibilities, works hard, and faces challenges. This
stage is often associated with ambition and determination.
Justice or Judge: As a person matures, they become a figure of
authority, making decisions based on wisdom and experience.
This stage is marked by reflection and contemplation.
Old Age: In the final stage, a person reaches old age. They
become frail and dependent once again, experiencing the
decline of physical and mental capabilities.

12. Shakespeare's monologue emphasizes the
cyclical nature of life, where individuals
progress through these stages from birth to
old age. Each stage has its own
characteristics, challenges, and experiences,
contributing to the overall journey of
human life.

(internal rhyme).

Doubting, drearing dreams no mortal
Enter dared to dream before.
