SONG.
[Ah Phillis! had you never lov'd]
1
Ah Phillis! had you never lov'd,Your Hate I could have born
Contentedly, I wou'd have prov'd
The Object of your Scorn.
But you were once as soft, as kind,
As yielding Virgins be;
Gods! that That Face shou'd have a Mind
Stain'd with Inconstancy.
2
No Tongue can tell the Mighty JoyYour Kindness did Create;
But the Sweet Rapture you destroy,
With suddain causeless Hate.
111
Promise a glorious day;
But soon o'er cast its brightness gone,
Did to rough Storms give way.
