And all the men and women
merely players;
They have their exits and
their entrances,
And one man in his time plays
many parts, His acts being
seven ages.

Jealous in honor, sudden and
quick in quarrel,
Seeking

With spectacles on
nose and pouch on

His youthful hose, well
saved, a world too

strange eventful

Sans teeth, sans
eyes, sans taste,
