Best Answer

It's not a poem. It's a speech from a play. It's said by a character called Jaques in a play called As You Like It, in response to a remark made by the Duke that some people in the theatre of life are worse off than Jaques. Jaques picks up on that and delivers the speech beginning with the words "All the world's a stage". Jaques is a cynical character; he's responding to the Duke's "some people are worse off than you" with "everyone's the same, they go through the same seven stages, just like they were actors playing the same part."

Some of the plays which have been suggested as Shakespeare's earliest are Henry VI Part 2, Henry VI Part 3, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Comedy of Errors, and Titus Andronicus.
