The Malecontent.
SONG.
Phyllis , O Phyllis! Thou art fondly vain,My wavering thoughts thus to molest,
Why should my pleasure be the only pain,
That-must torment my easie breast?
If with Prometheus I had stoll'n fire,
Fire from above,
As scorching, and as bright, as that of Love,
I might deserve Jove's ire,
135
But now eternally I bleed,
And yet on Thee, on Thee lies all the blame,
Who freely gav'st the Fewel and the Flame.
