The Seven Ages of Man is a speech from William Shakespeare's play *As You Like It*. In the speech, Jaques describes the seven stages of a man's life from infancy to old age:

1. The infant: "mewling and puking in the nurse's arms"

2. The schoolboy: "with shining morning face, creeping like snail / unwillingly to school"

3. The lover: "sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad / to his mistress' eyebrow"

4. The soldier: "full of strange oaths, with beard of formal cut"

5. The justice: "in fair round belly with good capon lin'd, / with eyes severe, and beard of formal cut"

6. The Pantalone: "in spectacles on nose, with pouch hanging on his side"

7. The second childishness: "sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything"
