A Lecture Upon the Shadow

Stand still and I will read to thee

A Lecture, Love, in loves philosophy,

These three houres that we have spent,

Walking here, Two shadowes went

                                                       Along with us, which we our selves produc’d;

                                                       But, now the Sunne is just above our head,

                                                       We doe those shadowes tread;

                                                       And to brave clearnesse all things are reduc’d.

So whilst our infant loves did grow,

Disguises did, and shadowes, flow,

From us, and our cares; but now ’tis not so.

That love hath not attain’d the high’st degree,

                                                       Which is still diligent lest others see.

                                                       Except our loves at this noone stay,

                                                       We shall new shadowes make the other way.

                                                       As the first were made to blinde

Others; these which come behinde

Will worke upon our selves, and blind our eyes.

If our loves faint, and westwardly decline;
