The Seven Ages of Man by William Shakespeare
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 the nurse’s arms;
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And 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 a 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. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
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 sav’d, 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,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Thank you 🙂 your voice 🙌❤🙌so do a poem ~ thank you!
Thank you for reuploading this, but I wish to ask, what happened to the original? I liked that very much. The voice and tune along with the reading was amazing
This is nice, but i had a personal connection with the first version, you did not have to make the video private. Some of these videos we have saved and visit every so often just to get our lives back together again when things become difficult, making the videos private takes that away from us, that relatability i had with the first version is gone. It really helps me alot when i am down, please bring it back.
Thank you for this. Beautifully rendered.
All the above
"If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are" - Charles Montesquieu
So true, we should only compare ourselves to the person we were yesterday.
Great lines

Man is the only animal that refuses to be what he is. What good are Wings without the courage to fly 🖖
Animal?
@@avg_user-dd2yb The human being is a mammal from the hominid family. Don’t tell me you didn’t know you were an animal...?
Animal...... that refuses to be.... very interesting statement.
@@olympusentertainment2638 They ain’t refusing it because most of them simply don’t even know it. Still lost in their holly books.
@@olympusentertainment2638 They don’t want to understand either that the concept of race is a social construct. The science prove clearly that breeding between different races are impossible in the entirety of the animal kingdom, which is the major proof that the human race is a single race as a whole.
Ahhhh
This make me want to write about
“The memory of me”
Now I am old and grey,
Had fair share of events of life
Through thick and thin
Tasting joy and happiness
Shocking betrayals of trust
Pitching pain and agony
Broken hearts many times
But still survived and still here
Now I just want to count goodness
And precious gift of life
Highest thrill was 72 birthday on the Mt. Everest base camp
Brave enough to travel solo any time and any place
It is my reward from all there was
That I had to endure
So I count my blessings
this is sad
not sad, not sad at all. this is triumphant. as Charles Bukowski wrote "You can't beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes."
Love from top of the world (Nepal) ✌️
always welcome 🙏
@@zten8116 I did Annapurna base and Mt Everest, yes I will go back again to explore more of mystic and beautiful mountains, promise you nothing will stop me less my body gets frail and weak
@@leiacha2482 god bless you💕 🤗😊 take care..
Dear self,
You are not early nor late,
You are right on time,
You are on the right track in your life,
You are not in a race,
You are in your own pace,
Let them talk,
Let them mock,
Let them assume what is not,
Do not worry yourself,
Do not compare yourself,
They have their own path,
And so are you,
Do not let yourself astray,
Pray and have faith,
Things will be okay.
🙏🙏
Thanks dude. Needed that. Stay blessed and don't stop seeking your dreams.
Beautiful
Thank you. This is beautifully written.
Very nice
Wow, I haven't heard this type of voice in centuries!!! Great video!
Damn how is it being immortal
What man?
James Smillie
Live your life and forget your age. Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.🔥
Whoop!
Well said....
Totally irrelevant here.
VERY WELL SPOKEN!!
ITS ONLY LOVE CAN UNDERSTAND LOVE---NONE OTHER!!@@@
James 's voice and the beautiful recitation is enough to make a grown man cry.
i like how the line "sans everything" fades away, at last!
sans? what does it mean bor?
bro :((
@@MrEu67 It means "without".
Soldiers, God bless us with more strengths.
FORWARD
How perfectly spoken of what happens to one during his lifetime.
I love the reader's voice. Blessings to everyone here❤
Hi I J P,
Thank you for your kind thoughts, and words, your blessings are most appreciated.
May the Lord bless you, and keep you and your loved ones safe always.
I became a soldier rather quickly in life the lover in me faded as my heart broke into pieces of strength and learning from these experiences.
I heard this poem quite a few times before, but it's one of those which you can come back numerous times.
Yes! I always do
Somewhere between soldier and justice, trying to dissect and subjugate everything. Growing into a knowledgeable man, precise in my speech, and quick to listen. Slow to speak, but bold as a lion. Mine eyes see through, although not quite accurately, humbled by what I find. Passionate, selflessly caring, loving thoroughly, though quite stark at times.
I remember this by heart. Beautiful. ❤️
Speaking in the stages of young adulthood, I believe that once you reach those fading years, when your senses start to weaken; as long as you have contributed towards something, made something, helped someone, then your years have been wholesome, and you can truly leave with peace
VERY WELL SPOKEN
ACCORDING TO MY BOSS ; DR. LOBSANG RAMPA. WHO LIFT ME OUT OF THE -- DEPTH OF HELL--- WHICH IS THIS PRESENT WORLD---& PLACED ME AMONGST THE STARS!!!!!.
DR. T LOBSANG RAMPA. THE GREATEST OF THE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Centuries since these greats breathed their last no one has ever able to replicate their works
Fantastic , a couple of years ago I was lucky enough to go to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon and watch As You Like It . When Jaques recites the seven ages of Man it is one of the most powerful things I have ever seen
ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME OF THIS MUSIC(BGM)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*PLEASE*
I am still looking for it even now. Even shazam is clueless. Did you get it?
I know this poem years ago, when I was in ninth grade. I still memorize it until now. And I really love this poem❤️
I memorized this for school. A very enjoyable experience, just to know I was quoting one of the greatest literary geniuses of all time.
Time is like a mountain growing under our feet! To have a good life you must be able to see every day, a new world!
Oh, my friend" he said, "we are older but gained no wisdom, for in our hearts the dreams were fulfilled, in our minds we knew not what we gained, a noble hope or cause was not the end-all for us, I have no hope to think that you following the same road will lead you anywhere but with we failed heroes."
What a voice , the absolute God voice , the most powerful voice I've ever heard ,never have I absolutely stopped in mind and body to listen this deep ..... long life to u ! Salut

One teacher of mine introduced me to this poem. Now everytime I come across this, it reminds me of him
There is a difference between somebody who wants you and somebody who would do anything to keep you. Remember that ...

Powerful literature that invokes the mind to new depths..
strong voice and very moving
The first time you were a baby, you'll never remember.
By the second time you become a baby, you'll dearly wish you could forget. 🌅
This might be my favorite thing this channel has ever done. Bravo.
James Smillie! What a voice!
These channel is so underrated
What does the rating has to do with the content. This what these channels are trying to teach to stop seeking approval from outside and yet you are hear only talking about eating rather than what you gained. Look at it again
“If age could, if youth knew”
I almost cried while watching listening this maybe the best poem I've ever heard, even though I don't really understand it!
ITS SO SIMPLE AND IN PLAIN SIGHT-- ALL AROUND U!!!!!
ITS TRULY SAID, IN SIMPLICITY U WILL MEET THE MOST DIFFICULTY!!!
& DAVINCI SAID -- SIMPLICITY IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF SOPHISTICATION!!!!!.
I am the age of a soldier who longs for a bubble of reputation. At work and with friends. It's crazy how that life flies. I gave my first kiss yesterday.
This poetry reminded me of "the curious case of benjamin button"..
The writer seemed to be inspired with this poetry!

9th grade be hitting different
Fr
WONDERFULLY Wonderful INDEED!!
I've heard the old version so many times I prefer it by now :P
Edit: OH NO! You removed it??? Why? I preferred that version :(
Confusion and fleeting determination
Bewilderment and wonder
I rot and i ponder
I ought to and blunder
Uncertain of the game and how i should play it
Frustrated at my situation, can't seem to change it
Being dragged by a weary body the hopeful mind suffers
I'll walk the dog, do the kitchen and see what i might muster
My fav poem ,I have a request please also put the rim of ancient mariner poem also
YES.

too powerful voice..well portrayed
Personally, I relate to the eternal age of sultry and youthful lovers! In my soul, childhood has not gone away and nostalgia for the past has filled my whole being.... No matter how hard fate is with its tests of strength, one should live life with dignity. Shakespeare is right. Life resembles a theater, a game, and people are actors. Any game can change the rules. We should not forget about it. I believe in miracles in real life and dream of a fairy-tale future near the person I love with all my heart and soul. So far have only experienced unrequited feelings. I hope that the last love will be mutual.
Haven't you done this one before, if so what happened to the video? I can not seem to find it.
Beautiful 🙌🏿🌟🌟🌟
please i need to memorize this because we have a graded recitation😭😭😭
Even William Shakespeare is an agent to group who want human to be designed ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a lot. I really needed how to speak it properly since I need to say this poem in front of an audience.
May I know the name the background music please~ It's so touching :D
did you figure it out?
Did you get it?
Got it yet?
I read this poem for the first time today
I remember doing King Lear "the act" by William Shakespeare in school and the exams about it later that year.
I miss school a little.
Same, only after leaving school did I realize how enjoyable it really was to learn all day 😔
DAMN....I'm not sobbing uncontrollably am I?!?! 😭
Incredible voice work.

Beautiful

At the end, it may seem we are sans (without) everything, but we still retain the One Thing...pure consciousness.
U GOT TO BE PURE TOO SAY THAT!!!!!."
Great powerful .
Beautiful poem ❤️❤️❤️
This is beautiful

i remembered this poet. when i was in 8th grade. pretty o'l days though
now i fully understand YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG with CANE on HAND LEGACY AMERICAN INDIAN QUOTES
Voice is our power!
I'm the lover aged 22 - embracing masters studies and experiencing love of all sorts, people, places, feelings and things, and poetry.
Am 36 now, I was 22 when I got heartbroken by love, my advice is if one isn't heartbroken, they will never understand love or life. Don't be afraid to get hurt. Don't waste that precious first love, nothing feels better after it except the pain of being broken. Being heartbroken feels better in my experience. U become a philosopher, a poet, a musician, thinker. It unlocks your mind.
@@kalsulivani5791 I went through my first breakup last year just before the COVID pandemic in the U.K., she was a Chinese student here and we were crazy about each other. I was utterly heartbroken when we separated but then found poetry and writing in my diary everyday. My life has progressed, but now I think even in heartbreak and death... life still has it’s beautiful moments and beautiful things can manifest themselves in chaos.
@@jackjonmonaghan8758 in my experience I think girls don't understand love or see love the same way as men. Poetry and music helps. But embrace the pain and don't fight it. That's my personal take on it .
WOW
