95. Friendship delineated.
When Sol puts on his splendid Robes of State;Our Bodies Shadow turns Associate.
When Solar Beams, yeeld to a churlish sky;
Our Shadows vanish, with Celerity.
Whilst Fortune smiles upon ye, never fear
The want of Friends; thou shalt have some to spare.
When the Stern Fates, turn to storms, serene Day;
Friends will, as much as shadows, Post away.
