Infant
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms, He was young and had to be taken care of by a nurse. -
Period: to
The seven stages of Man
-
School Boy
Then the whinning school boy. With his satchel, and shining morning face, creeping like a snail unwillingly to school. A school boy who doesn't want to go to school and goes slowly to it. -
Lover
Sighing like furnace, with a worful ballad, made to his mistress's eyebrow. It's like a teenager who is love struck. He changes to so he can look like what his mistress wants. -
Soilder
Then a soilder full of stranger oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel seeking the bubble reputation, even in the cannon's mouth. It means a young adult who is very quick to get mad. He also want to have honor. -
Justice
And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capton lined, with eyes severed, and beard of formal cut, full of wise saws and modern instance; so he playes his part. He is middle aged, He is experienced in the world. -
Plantoon
The sixth age shifts into the lean and slppered plantoon, with spectacles on his nose and pouch on side; his youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrank shrunk and big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistle in his sounds. He is much older and is deep voiced but it is changing. -
Second Childhood
Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, is the second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. It is a very old man.He is close to the end of his time.
