Seven Ages of man

Infant

Infant pictureAt first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;

School boy

SchoolboyAnd then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.

Lover

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.

Soilder

SoilderAnd 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.

Justice

Justice 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.

Sixth age

Sixth ageTAnnotatehe 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

Jul 15, 2075

Old manLast scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
