Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow,   Though thou be black as night,   And she made all of light; Yet follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow! Follow her, whose light thy light depriveth!   Though here thou livest disgraced,   And she in heaven is placed; Yet follow her whose light the world reviveth! Follow those pure beams, whose beauty burneth!   That so have scorchèd thee;   As thou still black must be, Till her kind beams thy black to brightness turneth! Follow her, while yet her glory shineth!   There comes a luckless night   That will dim all her light; And this the black unhappy shade divineth. Follow still, since so thy Fates ordained!   The sun must have his shade,   Till both at once do fade; The sun still proved, the shadow still disdained!
