Good Luck....and PLEASE USE SPOILERS!

- Trousers - pants, leggings

- Pupil - student, apprentice, eye, iris

- Foal - horse, birth, young, unsteady

- Brave - courageous, young male Native American, headstrong

- Atonement - redemption, forgiveness, remedy, repair

I've got nothing

Seems like there could be different interpretations, but it sounds to me like...

of Man...from Shakespeare:

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, -Foal

Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.

Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel -Pupil

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, -Lolita

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, -Brave

Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, -Atonement

In fair round belly with good capon lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts -Trouser

Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, -Renaissance (rebirth)

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion,

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans every thing.
