Words and author of poem

Can anyone provide the poet who wrote the following lines? Was it Shakespeare?

The Seven ages of man
First the baby mewling and pewking in its mother's arms
I think that is correct.

[henryboy]

William Shakespeare ...... "As You like It" .....

At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
