THE SEVEN AGES OF MAN His youthful hose well saved, a world too wide Unwillingly to school.
de Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
(from: “AS YOU LIKE IT” ) by: William Shakespeare For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, 10 Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad All the world’s a stage, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier And all the men and women are merely players; 25 And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like a pard, They have their exits and entrances, That ends this strange eventful history, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, And one man in his time plays many parts Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Seeking the bubble reputation 5 His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. 15 Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; In fair round belly with good caper lined, And then the whining school boy, with his satchel Do you agree with the persona’s description of With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, the last age of man in the last two lines of the And shining morning face, creeping like snail Full of white saws and modern instances; poem? Why? Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Do you agree when he says that the last stage is 10 Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad “second childhood without everything?” Prove 20 Into the lean and ,slippered pantaloons, your point. Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.
