[As thy shadow it selfe applyeth]
As thy shadow it selfe applyeth, to follow thee wher so thou go, & when thou bends it self it wryeth, turning as thou both to & fro: the flatterer doth euen so, and shopes himself the same to glose, with many a fawning & gay show, whom he would frame for his purpose, with many a fawning and gay show, whom he would frame for his purpose.
