DeWitt Talmage, D. D. “ Seven A g e s” in Glass The window depicting the “ Seven Ages of Man" was placed in the Holy Trinity church in Shakespeare’s birth place, Stratford-on-Avon, by Ameri cans. There are eight panels in the window, but as the two top center panels refer to only one age, the seven ages are thus represented. The Bib lical characters representing the Seven Ages are as follows: The Infant, Moses; the Schoolboy, Samuel; the Lover, Jacob; the Soldier, Joshua; the Justice, Solomon; the Slippered Pan taloon, Abraham; Sans Eyes, Sans Teeth. Sans Everything, Isaac.
