The Shadow

 FOLLOW a shadow it still flies you；     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     Styled 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.     Say are not women truly then     Styled but the shadows of us men？
