The young man is a lover who is busy composing ballads for his
beloved and sighing deeply for her attention. Gradually, he
graduates into a bearded soldier.
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous on honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation.
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
Into the sixth age he becomes thin, wears spectacles, the skin
around him hangs loosely. The man grows older and becomes
weak.
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,
His clothes hang loosely around him and his once manly voice
turns into a high pitched, childish one. With this, man
enters the last act.
That ends this strange eventful history,
In second childishness and mere oblivion,
sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
This age of man’s life is more or less same as that of the second
phase of man’s life because at this stage man again behaves like a
child. He is overcome by senility and forgetfulness, as he loses
his faculties of sight, hearing, smell and taste, slowly but surely,
and ultimately dies.
