-
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Quite and peacfully asleep in it's cradle. -
With his satchel and Shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school.
Begging, pouting, crying. -
Sighing like furnace with a woeful ballad made to his mistress' eyebrow.
Smiling, gazzing, and impressing -
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth.
Strong, tough, leader, protective -
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.
Drinking, laughing, joking, sleeoing -
With specticles on nose and pouch on side;His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his bigg manly voice, turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound.
Quiet, Old, Observing -
Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans sans taste, sans everything.
Hopeful, Wise, Greatful
