The Seven Ages Of Man

THE SEVEN AGES OF MAN

Even in the cannon’s mouth. And Then the justice

(From: As You Like it) by: W. Shakespeare

All the world’s a stage And all the men and women Merely players They their exists and entrances And one man in his time plays Many parts His acts being seven age. 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 furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow Then a soldier Full of strangers oath, and bearded Like the pard Jealous and honor, sudden and quick In quarrel Seeking the bubble reputation

In fair the round belly with a good Capon lined With eyes severe and beard of Formal out, Full of wise saws, and modern instances And so he plays his part. The six ages shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloons 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 treble pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history In second childishness and more oblivion Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything

MOTHER TO SON

(BY: Langston Hughes)

Well, son, I’ll tell you Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor Bare But all the time I’se been a-climbin’ on And reachin’ landin’s And turnin’ corners, And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So boy, don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps ‘Cause you finds it’s kinder hard. Don’t you fall now— For I’se still goin’, honey, I’se still climbin’, And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
