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,
5 His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel Andshining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,
10 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
15 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
20 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
25 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.
Vocabulary:
sad; song that tells a story
a leopard
chicken-like fowl
proverbs
the latest news or thing
¾ length pants
stockings worn by fashionable men
with pantaloons; calf of leg
total forgetfulness
without (French)
