"Seven Stages" is the poem by William Shakespeare. In the poem, Shakespeare mentions that "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely its players." Shakespeare describes the seven stages of life. The poet refers to the fourth stage of life as a soldier who is "Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,"
Herein, Shakespeare refers that the soldier is short tempered and foul-mouthed. Also, 'pard' refers to the leopard. The soldier is short tempered that he picks up the quarrels on reasons which are negligible and is ready to sake his honor and willing to die. 'Bubble reputation' refers that the reputation is transitory in nature just like a bubble.
