A old man don't know
How to eat
His food often fell down
His senses are useless
Like that of a child
He is without the eyes
He can't see
Just like the beautiful little kid
He has no teeth
As when
Hemanshi was little
She has no teeth
Yes the beautiful
Hemanshi
He has no taste
This means when a person is in last stage of his life
He becomes a little baby
So this 7th age
Is his
Second childhood

In this poem, Shakespeare uses the phrase "second childishness" to refer the way people are when they get old. As some old people act like children and thus, act stubborn or silly sometimes. Hence, this used to be a common euphemism for senility but nowadays this term is not often used very much.
