Is it illegal to refuse access to a store based solely on the age of said person?
I believe it would be illegal to prejudice someone based on their age, although this is seen all the time for example, clubs often refuse entry to people they deem too old to enter
He was not of age but for all time means?
Basically, he meant that Shakespeare had something which would be relevant at any time, not just in the time he wrote it. Shakespeare was not "topical" most of the time. Jonson, on the other hand, filled his plays with references to people and ideas which were well-known when he was alive but nobody knows about now, which makes Jonson's plays quite dated and hard to follow compared with Shakespeare's.
