Song. That Women Are But Men's Shadows by Ben Jonson
VII. — SONG. — THAT WOMEN ARE BUT MEN'SSHADOWS.
Let her alone, she will court you. Say are not women truly, then, 5 Styl'd but the shadows of us men ? At morn and even shades are longest ; At noon they are or short, or none : So men at weakest, they are strongest, But grant us perfect, they're not known. 10 Say, are not women truly, then, Styl'd but the shadows of us men ?
Seem to fly it, it will pursue : So court a mistress, she denies you ; Let her alone, she will court you. Say are not women truly, then, 5 Styl'd but the shadows of us men ? At morn and even shades are longest ; At noon they are or short, or none : So men at weakest, they are strongest, But grant us perfect, they're not known. 10 Say, are not women truly, then, Styl'd but the shadows of us men ?
