SONG
Phillis, you have enough enjoy'd
The Pleasures of Disdain;
Methinks your Pride shou'd now be cloy'd,
And grow it self again:
Open to Love your long-shut Breast,
And entertain its sweetest Guest.
The Pleasures of Disdain;
Methinks your Pride shou'd now be cloy'd,
And grow it self again:
Open to Love your long-shut Breast,
And entertain its sweetest Guest.
21
Love heals the Wounds that Beauty gives,
And can ill Usage slight;
He laughs at all that Fate contrives,
Full of his own Delight;
We in his Chains are happier far
Than Kings themselves without 'em are.
And can ill Usage slight;
He laughs at all that Fate contrives,
Full of his own Delight;
We in his Chains are happier far
Than Kings themselves without 'em are.
Leave then to tame Philosophy,
The Joys of Quietness;
With me into Love's Empire fly;
And taste my Happiness:
Where even Tears and Sighs can show
Pleasures, the Cruel never know.
The Joys of Quietness;
With me into Love's Empire fly;
And taste my Happiness:
Where even Tears and Sighs can show
Pleasures, the Cruel never know.
