Seven ages of man speech comes from which shakespeare play?

Answer 1

You mean the "Seven Ages of Man", a speech by Jaques, a character in Shakespeare's play As You Like It. The speech goes as follows:

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. At first, the infant,

Mewling and puking in his nurse's arms,

Then the whining schoolboy with his satchel

And his shining morning face creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover

Sighing like furnace with a woeful Ballad

Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then the soldier,

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon's mouth. Then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

Full of wise saws and modern instances.

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,

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 its sound. Last stage of all

That ends this strange eventful history

Is second childishness and mere oblivion,

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything

It is often anthologised separately from the rest of the play, giving the impression that it is a stand-alone piece.
