VII: Song: That Women Are But Mens Shaddows
Follow a shaddow, it still flies you,
Seeme to flye it, it will pursue:
So court a mistris, she denies you;
Let her alone, she will court you.
Say, are not women truly, then,
Stil’d but the shaddows of us men?
At morne, and even, shades are longest;
At noone, they are short, or none:
So men at weakest, they are strongest,
But grant us perfect, they’re not knowne.
Say, are not women truly, then,
Stil’d but the shaddows of us men?
