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)

William shakespeare songs?
Music and songs have special implications in the play Twelfth Night. They help to create the festive atmosphere of the play. It should be noted in this regard that Twelfth Night opens and ends with songs. The opening song ("If music be the food of love, play on") creates the original mood of the play. The audience understands that they have come to see a romantic comedy. The final song ("When that I was and a little tiny boy"), sung by Feste, projects the realistic mood of the play. It reveals that Shakespeare has presented on stage a romantic comedy which is not detached from our everyday reality. Thus, songs are used by Shakespeare not only for the purpose of entertaining the audience, but they are also closely linked to the play's theme.
