Song. That Women Are But Men's Shadows

  
VII.
 — SONG.
 — THAT WOMEN ARE BUT MEN'S
SHADOWS.
 

     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 ?
