Envy will merit as its shade pursue, and like that serves to prove the substance trueFollowing any one as his shadow, as parasites do silly young men of fortune, being constantly seen with them, until they have disburdened them of their substance, and then the shadow vanishes of course: or, as envy does men of talents.
Envy will merit as its shade pursue, And like that serves to prove the substance true.
