ODE the Fourth, To the Same.
O'er the Lawn my Phillis flysWhere her panting Lover lys;
Hither fair one haste away;
Let me chide thy Minute's Stay.
Lay thee, Phillis, by my Side;
Give me what the Gods provide.
Hear the billing Turtles coo;
Like the Turtles let us woo.
Does my lovely Phillis tremble?
Now in vain thou may'st dissemble;
From the Kiss is all thy Anguish,
See me, Phillis, see, I languish;
Let us kiss, and kiss again;
Great the Pleasure from the Pain!
Phillis, O! the Shade befriends us!
And here Love himself attends us!
Nymph no longer close thine Eyes;
Gentle Phillis let us rise.
