13. All The World's A Stage
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.
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;
