Introduction
"All the world's a stage" is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare's pastoral comedy “As You Like It,” spoken by the melancholy Jaques in Act II Scene VII Line 139. The speech compares the world to a stage and life to a play and catalogues the seven stages of a man's life, sometimes referred to as the Seven Ages of Man.

As this English is from the 16th Century there are words that we do not commonly hear anymore:

1. Mewling: Cry

2. Pard: Leopard

3. Capon lined: The phrase "in fair round belly with good capon lined" describes a person who is content and well-fed, enjoying a good meal, specifically referencing a capon (a castrated rooster known for its tender meat) as part of the meal. Essentially, it suggests someone who is living comfortably and indulging in luxury.

4. Pantaloon: A type of close-fitting pants

5. Shank: Legs

6. Sans: Without

BlueMoon's Thoughts
We all want to be a little different, a little bit special, and to take “The Road Not Taken.” It is an irony though that all of us are subject to the same cyclicity of life though, the same Seven Ages of Man (and woman), birth and death; tears and laughter. Shakespeare speaks to this idea of cyclicity, and as much as our experiences maybe to different each other, on a macroscopic level, they are all just about the same.
