[Phillis accept a stubborn Heart]
Phillis
accept a stubborn Heart,
Which none but you could move:
Beauty like yours should scorn a part
In forcing perjur'd Love.
Which none but you could move:
Beauty like yours should scorn a part
In forcing perjur'd Love.

Yet I alas have seen you smile
As one makes Love a Trade:
You smil'd, but thought (I hope) the while
On those he had betray'd.
As one makes Love a Trade:
You smil'd, but thought (I hope) the while
On those he had betray'd.
Must all be cozened that are fair,
And slighted that are true;
'Tis time for me then to despair,
My Heart's so just to you.
And slighted that are true;
'Tis time for me then to despair,
My Heart's so just to you.
If you're engag'd then I'm undone,
Though you should change to me;
For she that can prove false to one,
Will false for ever be.
Though you should change to me;
For she that can prove false to one,
Will false for ever be.
