| Article ID | DKP0757 |
Title | Shakspeare. As you like it Act II. Scene VII. The Seven Ages. Third Age. |
Description | After the original painting of R. Smirke, William Sakespear: ;All the world's a stage; is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare's As You Like It, spoken by the melancholy Jaques in Act II Scene VII. The speech compares the world to a stage and life to a play, and catalogues the seven stages of a man's life, sometimes referred to as the seven ages of man infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, Pantalone and old age, facing imminent death. It is one of Shakespeare's most frequently quoted passages. 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, His acts being seven ages. |
