<L>Her bloody knife a mortal blow did give her,</L>
<L>Startled here at he fell into the River,</L>

<L>YOung <HI>Phaon</HI> &s;ate upon the brink</L>
<L>to view the &s;ilver &s;tream,</L>
<L>He overtaken was with &s;l&eacute;ep</L>
<L>and fell into a dream.</L>
<L>He then beheld a &s;ight mo&s;t &s;trange</L>
<L>the like he ne'r did &s;ee</L>
<L><HI>Phillis</HI> did &s;tand with Knife in hand</L>
<L>and thus complained &s;he.</L>

<L>Old wretched fate you now too late</L>
<L>&s;how me my mi&s;ery,</L>
<L>My <HI>Phaons</HI> gone &s;o fair &s;o young</L>
<L>now for him I mu&s;t dye:</L>
<L>Why was I <UNCLEAR>robb'd</UNCLEAR> and then &s;he &s;obb'd</L>
<L>of my delightful bli&s;s,</L>
<L>So &s;oon that he could not give me</L>
<L>one &s;mile or parting ki&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>While he did live he ne'r did give</L>
<L>me cau&s;e to mourn or grieve,</L>
<L>His life is fled and he is dead</L>
<L>I perfectly believe.</L>
<L>Therefore will I make ha&s;te and fly</L>
<L>out of this world of pain,</L>
<L>With him &s;o &s;weet I fain would m&eacute;et</L>
<L>with him for to remain.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>While him I mi&s;s no pain like this</L>
<L>no ble&s;&s;ings can I meet,</L>
<L>Had I but dy'd by his dear &s;ide</L>
<L>death I had counted &s;weet,</L>
<L>And there withall &s;he &s;oon did fall</L>
<L>by wounding her fair bre&s;t,</L>
<L>Oh! now quoth &s;he I come to thee</L>
<L>&s;he &s;hrick'd and went to re&s;t.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>He heard this cry as &s;he did dye</L>
<L>and thought it was her voice,</L>
<L>Whom he did love all &s;ouls above</L>
<L>in her he did rejoyce.</L>
<L>He &s;tarted then and &s;trait fell in</L>
<L>he never more was &s;een,</L>
<L><HI>Phillis</HI> he cryed and then he dy'd</L>
<L>was lo&s;t in that &s;weet &s;tream.</L>
