And then the lover, <span class=\"playlinenum\">1045<\/span><br \/>\nSighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad<br \/>\nMade to his mistress&#8217; eyebrow. Then a soldier,<br \/>\nFull of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,<br \/>\nJealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,<br \/>\nSeeking the bubble reputation <span class=\"playlinenum\">1050<\/span><br \/>\nEven in the cannon&#8217;s mouth. And then the justice,<br \/>\nIn fair round belly with good capon lin&#8217;d,<br \/>\nWith eyes severe and beard of formal cut,<br \/>\nFull of wise saws and modern instances;<br \/>\nAnd so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts <span class=\"playlinenum\">1055<\/span><br \/>\nInto the lean and slipper&#8217;d pantaloon,<br \/>\nWith spectacles on nose and pouch on side,<br \/>\nHis youthful hose, well sav&#8217;d, a world too wide<br \/>\nFor his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,<br \/>\nTurning again toward childish treble, pipes <span class=\"playlinenum\">1060<\/span><br \/>\nAnd whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,<br \/>\nThat ends this strange eventful history,<br \/>\nIs second childishness and mere oblivion;<br \/>\nSans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans every thing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"stagedir\"><a name=\"1065\" id=\"1065\"><\/a> Re-enter ORLANDO with ADAM<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"playtext\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensourceshakespeare.org\/views\/plays\/characters\/charlines.php?CharID=duke-ayli&amp;WorkID=asyoulikeit\">Duke<\/a>. <\/strong><a name=\"1066\" id=\"1066\"><\/a>Welcome.
