The Shadow.

1

Yesterday as I was seated,
And lay sleeping in an Arbour,
See my hopes were all defeated,
And were shipwrack'd in their Harbour,
For I thought I had been taking
All my treasure in myne armes,
But it prov'd when I was waking,
Nothing else but false alar'ms,
Yet it troubles me the less,
For the Gods had like success.

2

One of them as doth appear
In their Tale, for anger burned
When he saw his only dear,
To a shining Cloud was turned,
A second made his labour vain;
And another we do see,
For his Nimph embrac'd a stream,
And the third a Lawrell-Tree;
Thus the Gods themselves were used,
And with shadows are abused.

3

So it was with me alas,
When I thought I had my fair,
Like a shadow she did pass
And nothing left but fleeting air;
Then I waked discontented,
In a posture nigh disparing,
But my sadness was prevented,
By her personall appearing,
But nothing I of substance write
Whil'st of shadowes I Indite.
