Phillis waking.

I

Who wakes me from a Dream of Love?
Whose gentle Whispers do I hear?
Whence comes the balmy Kiss I prove?
Who sighs?—my Strephon sure is near!

II

What panting Bosom presses mine?
Who kills me with Delights unknown?
'Tis Strephon, or some Pow'r Divine!
Strephon! it cou'd be thee alone!
