At first, the infant, • Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. • Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel • And shining morning face, creeping like snail • Unwillingly to school. And 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. 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 • 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 of all, • That ends this strange eventful history, • Is second childishness and mere oblivion, • Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
