Act ii. Sc. 7.

All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts

And then, the whining schoolboy, with his satchel, And s.h.i.+ning 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,

Full of wise saws and modern instances, And so he plays his part. The sixth age s.h.i.+fts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon.

Last scene of all, That ends this strange, eventful history, Is second childishness, and mere oblivion.

Act ii. Sc. 7.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As man's ingrat.i.tude.

Act iii. Sc. 2.
