Ben Jonson Mistress Quotations

Court a mistress, she denies you; let her alone, she will court you.

Follow a shadow, it still flies you, Seem to fly, it will pursue: So court a mistress, she denies you; Let her alone, she will court you. Say are not women truly, then, Styled but the shadows of us men?

Custom is the most certain mistress of language, as the public stamp makes the current money.
