It meant the same then as it does now: a castrated rooster. Although capons are not as often seen on supper tables as they used to be, they still can be. In Neil Simon's play The Odd Couple (female version) Florence cooks a capon.

What did shakespeare mean in his poem All the world's a Stage when he said with good capon lin'd?
The seven ages of man is not a poem. It's a speech given by the character Jaques in Act 2 the play As You Like It. The Duke has just pointed out that "This wide and universal theatre presents more woeful pageants than the scene wherein we play in." or in other words, there are people worse off than we are. Jaques fastens on the "wide and universal theatre" image and says that everyone is playing a part, and the parts are pretty much the same for everyone and lead toward a sad end. In the process he uses a lot of similes and some metaphors. "Fair round belly with good capon lined" is a metaphor--you don't actually line the inside of your belly like you would a coat, but you do fill the inside with food, like capons (castrated roosters).
What are the examples of assonounce in The Seven Ages of Man?
All speech has rhythm, including what I am writing now. But the speeches in Shakespeare's plays, including the one we are talking about now, are often written in what is called blank verse, or unrhymed iambic pentameter. This means that the ten-syllable lines alternate between weak and strong syllables, starting with a weak one. Most of the lines in this speech follow this pattern: "inTO the LEAN and SLIPper'd PANtaLOON" for example. Some do not: "SEEKing the BUBble REPuTAtion" for one.
What was William Shakespeare's favorite food?
Sadly history does not seem to record what Shakespeare's favorite food was.It is impossible to say what William Shakespeare's favorite food was as it is not written anywhere as far as we know.Many Elizabethan recipes are similar to those we have now, including soups, stews, salads and breads. They did not have new world foods such as tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, corn, vanilla and chocolate. They also did not use fresh milk, because it went bad so quickly. Milk was changed into butter and cheese, which kept better. Some foods which were popular in his time were savoury pies, stuffed and baked whole fish, birds and animals, and salads ("sallets") containing flowers as well as herbs and greens. Nutmeg and sugar were used in a lot of recipes around that time.We have no idea what Shakespeare's favourite anything was, since he left behind no diaries or personal correspondence, nor did anyone who knew him well.
