Full of obligations, commitments. His own decisions. Takes cares of his actions. 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. Soldier -
The justice
Age: 45 Fair, equal, More wise of his actions and decisions. The justice,
In fair round belly, with a good capon lin'd, With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws, and modern instances, And so he plays his part. justice -
Pantaloon/ Old Age
Age: 70 Wrinkle face, descend his voice, weaken, No energy. slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Old Age -
Second childhood/ Death
Age: 81 Nothing left, No teeth, no teeth, no taste, without everything. Second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything Death
