A Dialogue between Phillis and Strephon.

Phillis and I, as we our Flocks did guide
One Ev'ning homewards by the River's side,
With pleasure She the Stars i'th' azure Skies
Admiring view'd, I those in her bright Eyes.
Phillis, said I, those distant Wonders slight,
And let the nearer entertain your Sight;
Turn and behold your beauteous Eyes in mine,
Your Eyes, which far those heavenly Lights out-shine
Can I, reply'd she, from your Eyes receive
So clear an Image as this Stream can give?
No Stream, said I, your fatal Charms can show
So well, as Those which from my Eyes do flow.
