Was William Shakespeare an author?

Shakespeare certainly had aspects of metaphysical poetry in his writings - he frequently created metaphors that linked unusual things to explain things like love for example. In Romeo and Juliet there is a famous passage where Romeo describes his love for Juliet as if he is a pilgrim on a journey to the shrine of her love. Also, in As You like It there is the famous 'seven stages a man' speech that likens the different stages of life to unusual things. This use of metaphor can arguably rank Shakespeare as having metaphysical qualities but strictly speaking, scholars do not speak of Shakespeare in terms of being a metaphysical poet like say, John Donne who is a more obvious example. The so called metaphysical poets came slightly later than Shakespeare.


What songs relate to seven ages of man by William Shakespeare?

The speech called "The Seven Ages of Man" is from a play by William Shakespeare called As You Like It. That play contains more songs than any other Shakespeare play. That is to say, William Shakespeare wrote the lyrics to the following songs to be performed in the play: "Under the Greenwood Tree", "It Was a Lover and his Lass", "Blow, Blow thou Winter Wind", "What shall he have that killed the deer?" and "Wedding is great Juno's crown". The music written by Thomas Morley to sing "It Was a Lover and his Lass" in Shakespeare's lifetime still exists and it is a great song. One of the verses of "Under the Greenwood Tree" is sung by Jaques, the same character who delivers the "Seven Ages" speech., so that is probably the song most closely related to the speech. If Morley wrote music to that one we no longer have it, but the setting by the Barenaked Ladies in 2005 is superb. (Check YouTube to hear it)
