The InfancyEdit
Just after being born, he is an innocent baby; all the while wailing and crying.
The SchoolboyEdit
Here, he begins his schooling; the charms of helpless innocence cease. It is in that stage of life that he begins to go to school. He is unwilling to leave the protected environment of his home as he is still not confident enough to exercise his own discretion.
The LoverEdit
The lover is depicted as a young man composing his love poems, shown beneath two pictures of Cupid, the god of love and on the left, Romeo-Juliet balcony scene. In this stage, he is always maudlin, expressing his love in a fatuous manner. He makes himself ridiculous in trying to express his feelings.The child in this stage, cares for its beloved the most and is quite concerned about it and is ready to sacrifice its life also to show its affectionate towards it.
The SoldierEdit
Here, he is hot-blooded with a high degree of self-respect. He looks forward to gaining a reputation, even if it costs him his life. He is inflamed with the love of war and, like a leopard, he charges.He is very easily aroused and is hot headed. He is always working towards making a reputation for himself, however short-lived it may be, even at the cost of foolish risks.
The JusticeEdit
In this stage he thinks he has acquired wisdom through the many experiences he has had in life and is likely to impart it. He has reached a stage where he has gained prosperity and social status. He becomes vain and begins to enjoy the finer things of life and he attains a socially accepted state and expounds the wisdom he has gained in his life.
The PantaloonEdit
He is a shell of his former self — physically and mentally. He begins to become the butt of others' jokes. He loses his firmness and assertiveness, and shrinks in stature and personality and tries to shrink himself into a shell of his worries and is indifferent to his physical appearance and apparel, just as he was in his youth.
The Old AgeEdit
In this stage he is Dependent on others for care and unable to interact with the world, he experiences second innocence, and mere oblivion. this stage is also known as second infancy.

and all the men and women are merely players.
they have their exit and entrances
and one man in his time plays ma,ny parts
his acts being seven stages.at 1st the infant,
mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
then, the whining school boy with his satchel
and shining morning face,creeping like a snail
unwillingly to school. and then the lover,
sighing like a furnace,with a woeful ballad
made to his mistress eyebrow. then a soldier,
full of strange oaths,and beard like the pard,
jealous in honour, sudden,and quick in quarrel ,
seeking the bubble reputation
even in the cannons mouth.and then the justice,
in fare round belly ,
with eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
full of wise saws and modern instances ,
and so he play his parts. the sixth stage shifts
into the lean and
