B. First Reading of the Poem

The Seven Ages of Man

from “ As You Like It” by William Shakespeare

All the world’s a stage,

And all men and women were merely players;

They have their exits and entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts

His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,

Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;

And then the whining school boy, with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like a snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like a furnace,with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier

Full of strange oaths, and bearded like a pard,

Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel.

Seeking in 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 a 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 trebe, 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.
