CXXVI
TO PHILLIS: WHO SLIGHTED HIM
Since you no longer will be kind,
But my Embraces shun,
Bacchus shall ease my am'rous Mind,
To his embrace I run.
But my Embraces shun,
Bacchus shall ease my am'rous Mind,
To his embrace I run.
Wine gives a Pleasure unrestrain'd,
Dispells the frantick Spleen;
Tho' Wishes cannot be attain'd,
Looks still are joyful seen.
Dispells the frantick Spleen;
Tho' Wishes cannot be attain'd,
Looks still are joyful seen.
The God within his gladsome Cave
No Care nor Grief allows;
He laughs to Scorn the Sober, Grave,
And Sighing Lover's Vows.
No Care nor Grief allows;
He laughs to Scorn the Sober, Grave,
And Sighing Lover's Vows.
Then, Phillis, do whate'er you can,
I dully will not pine,
I'll ne'er forget I am a Man,
But seek my Cure from Wine.
I dully will not pine,
I'll ne'er forget I am a Man,
But seek my Cure from Wine.
That sullen Look, and hasty Kiss,
That Air reserv'd and coy;
That cold Denial of the Bliss
Shall not my Ease destroy.
That Air reserv'd and coy;
That cold Denial of the Bliss
Shall not my Ease destroy.
If you no more can love like me,
Why should it give me Pain?
Frail Woman will inconstant be,
Nor Art their Will can chain.
Why should it give me Pain?
Frail Woman will inconstant be,
Nor Art their Will can chain.
As well I might cross Winds deplore,
At rising Tempests rave,
As hope a wav'ring Mind to cure;
Nature its Course will have.
At rising Tempests rave,
As hope a wav'ring Mind to cure;
Nature its Course will have.
Then welcome more enduring Joys,
Long shall my Doctor be,
A Club of Witty, Toping Boys,
And Love, adieu to thee.
Long shall my Doctor be,
A Club of Witty, Toping Boys,
And Love, adieu to thee.
