<L>NOw am I to&s;t on waves of Love,</L>
<L>here like a Ship that's under Sail,</L>
<L>No kind entreaties will not move</L>
<L>my Love to &s;end one plea&s;ant Gale:</L>
<L>She is an Angel in mine Eye,</L>
<L>and Beauty flows in e'ry vein,</L>
<L>Yet I lye wounded fatally,</L>
<L>and by the Dart of her Di&s;dain.</L>

<HEAD>II.</HEAD>
<L>The lu&s;ture of her Beauty bright,</L>
<L>hath kindled &s;uch a &s;ecret flame</L>
<L>Within my brea&s;t, that day and night,</L>
<L>I needs mu&s;t call upon her Name;</L>
<L>Fair <HI>Phillis, Phillis</HI> too unkind,</L>
<L>why am I Bani&s;ht in Exile,</L>
<L>If thou wilt ea&s;e a grieved mind,</L>
<L>then &s;end my heart a gentle &s;mile.</L>

<HEAD>III.</HEAD>
<L>Was &s;he as kind as &s;he was Fair,</L>
<L>&s;he &s;oon would &s;end me &s;ome relief,</L>
<L>And ea&s;e my mind of grief and care,</L>
<L>and vani&s;h all the Clouds of grief:</L>
<L>But yet alas, it is in vain,</L>
<L>my Love &s;he evermore defies,</L>
<L>Though I in &s;orrow here complain,</L>
<L>yet &s;he re&s;olv'd to Tyranize.</L>

<HEAD>IV.</HEAD>
<L>A&s;&s;i&s;t me <HI>Cupid</HI> with thy aid,</L>
<L>and let me not be overthrown,</L>
<L>Do thou her gentle heart invade,</L>
<L>when &s;he is &s;ilent all alone:</L>
<L>When her Enc~hanting eyes doth clo&s;e&punc;</L>
<L>and all her &s;ences are at re&s;t,</L>
<L>When &s;he is in her Night repo&s;e,</L>
<L>then &s;eize the Clo&s;et of her brea&s;t.</L>

<L>Then <HI>Cupid</HI> took his Dart in hand,</L>
<L>not fearing then to make her yield,</L>
<L>He did not long di&s;puting &s;tand&punc;</L>
<L>e're he &s;ubdu'd and won the field;</L>
<L>When <HI>Phillis</HI> frown'd her heart betray'd,</L>
<L>and yet no creature could &s;he &s;ee,</L>
<L>She like a Pen&s;ive Lover &s;aid,</L>
<L>what &s;udden change is wrought in me.</L>

<LG N="6">
<HEAD>VI.</HEAD>
<L>Then many &s;ighs and tears &s;he &s;pent,</L>
<L>in &s;orrow for her Deare&s;t dear,</L>
<L>Her yielding heart did then relent,</L>
<L>&s;weet <HI>Coridon</HI> would thou wert here&punc;</L>
<L>Sure pride did over-&s;way my heart,</L>
<L>cau&s;ing <HI>Ambition</HI> &s;o to Reign,</L>
<L>But &s;ince I feel Loves fatal &s;mart,</L>
<L>for <HI>Coridon</HI> I do complain.</L>

<LG N="7">
<HEAD>VII.</HEAD>
<L>Now when it plainly did appear,</L>
<L>that &s;he in &s;orrows did condole,</L>
<L>This joyful tydings to his ear,</L>
<L>revived then his fainting Soul;</L>
<L>The vail of grief and heavine&s;s,</L>
<L>no longer &s;eemed to remain,</L>
<L>No tongue was able to expre&s;s</L>
<L>the joys of her beloved Swain.</L>

<L>He then Embra&s;t her in his arms,</L>
<L>and joyfully they did compleat</L>
<L>The mo&s;t indeared plea&s;ant charms,</L>
<L>with vows and tender ki&s;&s;es &s;weet;</L>
<L>Thus many fair expre&s;&s;ions pa&s;t,</L>
<L>and <HI>Phillis</HI> vowing thus did &s;ay,</L>
<L>As long as ever life doth la&s;t,</L>
<L>i'le be as con&s;tant as the day.</L>
