"All the world'due south a phase,
And all the men and women just players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And ane man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being vii 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 and then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' countenance. 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. Then the justice,
In fair round belly with expert capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modernistic instances;
And and then he plays his role. The 6th historic period shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on olfactory organ and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a earth too broad
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning once more toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his audio. Concluding scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
