Song.
[Ranging the Plain, one Summers Night]
1
Ranging the Plain, one Summers Night,To pass a vacant hour,
I fortunately chanc'd to light
On lovely Phillis bow'r:
The Nymph adorn'd with Thousand Charms
In expectation sate,
To meet such joys in Strephon's Armes,
As Tongue can ne're Relate
2
Upon her hand She lean'd her Head,Her Breasts did gently rise,
And every Lover might have read
Her wishes in her Eyes;
28
She suddainly wou'd Start,
A Cold on all her Body seiz'd,
A Trembling on her Heart.
3
But He that knew how well she Lov'd,Beyond his Hour had staid,
Which both with Fear and Anger mov'd,
The Melancholick Maid.
You Gods she said! how oft he Swore,
He wou'd be hear by One;
And now, alas! 'Tis Six and more,
And yet He is not come.
