oleh William Shakespeare

All the world’s a stage,

Seluruh dunia adalah panggung,

And all the men and women merely players;

dan semua pria dan wanita hanyalah pemeran

They have their exits and their entrances;

Mereka memiliki pintu keluar dan masuk sendiri-sendiri;

And one man in his time plays many parts,

Dan seorang pria dalam waktunya memainkan banyak peranan,

His acts being seven ages.

Adegannya terbagi dalam tujuh masa

At first the infant,

Pada mulanya seorang bayi,

Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;

merengek dan muntah dalam dekapan sang pengasuh;

And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel

Lalu sosok anak sekolah suka merengek, dengan tas selempang

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

dan muka segar di pagi hari; lelet bak siput

Unwillingly to school.

Enggan tuk sekolah.

And then the lover,

Lalu sosok pecinta,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

berdesah bak tungku, beserta balada muram

Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.

teruntuk alis sang kekasih.

Then a soldier,

Lalu sosok prajurit,

Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,

Penuh ikrar, dan berbulu layaknya macan,

Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Panas akan kehormatan, tangkas dalam kelahi,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Mengejar reputasi semu

Even in the cannon’s mouth.

bahkan dalam moncong meriam.

And then the justice,

Dan kemudian sosok hakim,

In fair round belly with good capon lin’d,

dalam kemakmuran materi,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

dengan mata berat dan janggut kantoran,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

penuh pertimbangan;

And so he plays his part.

dan begitulah ia memainkan perannya.

The sixth age shifts

Masa keenam berganti

Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,

sosok bersandar dan lemah,

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

dengan tesmak di hidung dan kantung di sisi;

His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide

Kaos kaki masa mudanya, tersimpan baik, dunia terlalu luas

For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,

untuk betis yang menyusut; dan suara beratnya

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

berubah lengkingan kekanakan, bak suling

And whistles in his sound.

dan peluit terkandung dalam suaranya.

Last scene of all,

Akhir babak,

That ends this strange eventful history,

mengakhiri seluruh rangkaian peristiwa canggung,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion;

adalah kekanak-kanakan kedua dan kelupaan belaka;

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Tanpa gigi,

tanpa mata,

tanpa rasa,

tanpa segalanya.
