Loves Revenge.
Phillis
, whose Heart was unconfin'd,
And free as Flowers on Meads and Plains;
None boasted of her being kind,
'Mongst all the languishing and am'rous Swains.
No sighs or tears her Heart could move,
To pity or return their Love.
And free as Flowers on Meads and Plains;
None boasted of her being kind,
'Mongst all the languishing and am'rous Swains.
No sighs or tears her Heart could move,
To pity or return their Love.

Till on a time the hapless Maid
Retir'd to shun the heat of day,
Into a Grove beneath whose shade
Strephon the careless Shepherd slept and lay.
Here Love's reveng'd for all her scorn,
Her Cheeks with blushes cover'd mourn.
Retir'd to shun the heat of day,
Into a Grove beneath whose shade
Strephon the careless Shepherd slept and lay.
Here Love's reveng'd for all her scorn,
Her Cheeks with blushes cover'd mourn.
The Youth she pitied too, and fear'd,
And tender Sighs her bosom warm;
A softness in her Eyes appear'd,
Unusually she feels each Charm.
To Woods and Echoes then she cries,
For Modesty to speak denies.
And tender Sighs her bosom warm;
A softness in her Eyes appear'd,
Unusually she feels each Charm.
To Woods and Echoes then she cries,
For Modesty to speak denies.
