topic for today?

Mr./Ms._______?

Very good.

Our lesson for today is all about “The

Seven Ages of Man”.
The Mitchell Wing of the State Library
of New South Wales is home to the
Shakespeare Room. It is a beautifully
decorated room built to commemorate
the three hundredth anniversary of the
death of William Shakespeare in 1616.
The Shakespeare Room is filled with
objects and books connected to the life
and works of William Shakespeare.

One of the most beautiful art works in

the room is a series of stained glass
windows depicting images from a
speech from Shakespeare's play As You
Like It. The windows were created by
Sydney stained glass artist Arthur G.
Benfield. They were installed in 1942
during the construction of the building.

The windows depict the Seven Ages of

Man, as described in the character
Jaques’ soliloquy in As You Like It. In
this comedy, Jaques is a
melancholy lord who is living in the
Forest of Arden after having been
banished. He rarely takes part in the
action around him, preferring to
observe rather than to join in. In this
speech Jaques first compares lives of
men and women in the world to actors
playing roles on a stage in the theatre.
The speech then examines the changes
that take place over the course of a
man’s life.

Jaques divides the life of a man into

seven stages:

1. Baby or infant
2. School boy or child
3. Lover
4. Soldier
5. Justice or judge
6. Old man
7. Extreme old age, again like a
 child

Each of these stages is represented in a

panel of the stained glass windows.

The idea of the Seven Ages of Man is

very old and dates to the twelfth
century (1100s). Shakespeare would
have learnt about this idea as a young
boy at school. Henry VIII owned a
tapestry that featured the Seven Ages
of Man.

The Seven Ages of Man

Speech from William Shakespeare’s As

You Like It, Act II scene vii

Jaques:  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
lined, 
    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 saved, 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.
