What metaphor is used in the seven ages of man?
This speech, from Act II Scene 7 of Shakespeare's play As You Like It, contains images of a man at various stages of his life. These images are strengthened with simile and metaphor and judicious choice of words. First we see the baby in his nurse's arms, "mewling and puking", Then we see him as a schoolboy, "whining" and "creeping like snail" because he doesn't want to go to school. We see him as a lover, "sighing like furnace", another simile. As a soldier, we are told he is "bearded like the pard", and he is "seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon's mouth." We can visualize him charging the cannons, sword in hand, swearing his strange oaths. The justice is fat and pompous, as we understand from his "eyes severe and beard of formal cut". The choice of the word "formal" tells so much here. The most vibrant picture is of the elderly man, wearing outsized clothes because he is too cheap to buy new ones since he has grown thinner, now having a "shrunk shank" (nice alliteration!). We can hear his voice which "pipes and whistles"; I'm sure you have known older men who talked like that. The last stage is less visual although very powerful.

What does Bearded like the pard mean?
In England, the only sightings are unconfirmed and are of "panthers" or "pumas" or "black cats", and yet a panther has no beard. It is impossible for Shakespeare to have seen a bearded leopard, because there are no records of him leaving England. On the other hand, I've come across claims of pard being the mythical parent of a Leo(lion)pard, and the pard has a beardless uncannily human chin. on that basis, I believe that Shakespeare was referring to the shaved chin that soldiers had, not to the beard of the leopard.

What are the simile in the poem seven ages of man by William shakespeare?
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. "Creeping like snail", "sighing like a furnace", "bearded like the pard" are some similes.
