• 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.
