In the first place, you must understand that this passage is not a stand-alone poem; nor can we assume that it was intended by Shakespeare to advocate any particular “moral” injunction (he seldom did that). This is a speech by a character (Jacques) in a play (As You Like It) which illustrates and epitomizes the character’s melancholy world-weary pessimism. Jacques argues that human life is essentially ridiculous, mostly miserable, and ultimately futile or meaningless. The speech represents an extreme point of view which I think can be regarded as a counterfoil to Duke Senior’s equally extreme optimism: “How sweet are the uses of adversity …”
In reflecting on these wholly opposite world views, as expressed in the play, I have toyed with the notion that if there is a thematic “golden thread” in Shakespeare’s works it is “all things in moderation, including (as Hanlet illustrates) moderation itself.”
