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