seven ages of man

seven ages of man
seven periods into which a human life can be divided, i.e. those of the baby, the child, the lover, the soldier, the middle-aged person, the old person, and second childhood. The seven ages are best known through the description of them in the speech by Jaques in Shakespeare’s As You Like It which begins:
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
