<ARGUMENT>
<LG>
<L>Poor <HI>Strephon</HI> &s;adly doth lament</L>
<L>'Cau&s;e <HI>Phillis</HI> is unkind,</L>
<L>Yet vows that &s;he &s;hall never &s;ee,</L>
<L>In him a change of Mind.</L>

</ARGUMENT>
<OPENER>To the Tune of, over Hills and High Mountains.</OPENER>

<LG>
<L>UNfortunate <HI>Strephon</HI></L>
<L>Well maye&s;t thou complain</L>
<L>Since thy cruel <HI>Phillis</HI></L>
<L>Thy Suit doth disdain</L>
<L>But let her per&s;i&s;t</L>
<L>In her fierce Tyranny</L>
<L><HI>Yet I will be faithful</HI></L>
<L><HI>To her till I dye.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Through Woods &amp; through De&s;arts</L>
<L>I'le privately walk</L>
<L>And there of my <HI>Phillis</HI></L>
<L>I'le mournfully talk,</L>
<L>where the pretty &s;weet Birds</L>
<L>With my moan &s;hall comply</L>
<L><HI>For I will be faithful,</HI></L>
<L><HI>To her and,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ah <HI>Phillis</HI> Remember</L>
<L>That thou art unkind</L>
<L>Ah <HI>Phillis</HI> remember</L>
<L>Thou art &s;till in my mind,</L>
<L>Ah <HI>Phillis</HI> remember</L>
<L>My true Con&s;tancy,</L>
<L><HI>For I will,</HI></L>
<L><HI>To the,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But mind for thy &s;ake</L>
<L>How the World I do range,</L>
<L>And though thou art cruel</L>
<L>Yet I will not change,</L>
<L>For thou like an Angel</L>
<L>Do&s;t &s;eem in mine eye</L>
<L><HI>And I will,</HI></L>
<L><HI>To thee,</HI></L>
</LG>
<P><FIGURE>
</FIGURE></P>
<LG>
<L>Sometimes in a Dream</L>
<L>I &s;lumbring do lye,</L>
<L>And then my dear <HI>Phillis</HI></L>
<L>Appears to mine Eye,</L>
<L>And &s;traight all my Sen&s;es</L>
<L>Away from me flye,</L>
<L><HI>And I vow to be.</HI></L>
<L><HI>To her &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But when I awake and</L>
<L>Do find 'twas a Dream,</L>
<L>Iu&s;t like one di&s;tracted,</L>
<L>I pre&s;ently &s;eem,</L>
<L>And cry that a haple&s;s</L>
<L>Poor Lover am I.</L>
<L><HI>Yet vow,</HI></L>
<L><HI>To thee &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>What can&s;t thou propo&s;e</L>
<L>To thy &s;elf for to gain,</L>
<L>By keeping thy Lover</L>
<L>Fa&s;t lock'd in a Chain?</L>
<L>Or why do&s;t thou &s;end me</L>
<L>Such Darts from thine Eye</L>
<L><HI>Who Vow,</HI></L>
<L><HI>To thee &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>No Prayers nor Tears</L>
<L>With thee can prevaile</L>
<L>Till Death by Commi&s;&s;ion</L>
<L>Takes me to his Iayl,</L>
<L>For whil&s;t I do live</L>
<L>This &s;hall be my cry,</L>
<L><HI>That I will be</HI></L>
<L><HI>To, &amp;c,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Since nothing can move thee.</L>
<L>I &s;till mu&s;t de&s;pair,</L>
<L>Since thou wilt not love me</L>
<L>It adds to my Care</L>
<L>Since I for thy &s;ake &s;till</L>
<L>In Fetters mu&s;t lye</L>
<L><HI>Yet I will,</HI></L>
<L><HI>To thee &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus <HI>Strephon</HI> continu'd</L>
<L>His Making complaint</L>
<L>But he wanting breath then</L>
<L>Began for to Faint</L>
<L>And with the la&s;t Breath</L>
<L>That ere from him did fly</L>
<L><HI>Still &s;aid hee'd be faithful</HI></L>
<L><HI>Until he did dye.</HI></L>
