Seven Ages of Man

  • Infant

    Infant
    Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
  • Schoolboy

    Schoolboy
    The whining schoolboy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like a snail unwillingly to school.
  • Lover

    Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his mistress's eyebrow.
  • Soldier

    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.
    Brave,
  • Justice

    In fair round belly with good capon lined, with eyes severe and beard of formal cut. Full of wise saws and modern instances.
  • 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 towards childish treble, pipes and whistles his sound.

    Old, wise, wistful
  • Second childhood

    In second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
