The Seven Ages of Man
All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players,
They have their exits and entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,
Extended Metaphor

His acts being seven ages.
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.Simile

And then the lover,Sighing like furnace, with a woeful
balladMade to his mistress' eyebrow.
Simile

Then a soldier,Full of strange oaths, and bearded like
the pard,Jealous in honor, sudden, and quick in
quarrel,Seeking the bubble reputationEven in the cannon's mouth.
Simile
Personification

And then the justiceIn 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 shiftsInto 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 towards 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.
