R. L. S.
I. NOw am I tost on waves of Love , here like a Ship that 's under Sail , No kind entreaties will not move my Love to send one pleasant Gale : She is an Angel in mine Eye , and Beauty flows in e'ry vein , Yet I lye wounded fatally , and by the Dart of her Disdain . II. The lusture of her Beauty bright , hath kindled such a secret flame Within my breast , that day and night , I needs must call upon her Name ; Fair Phillis , Phillis too unkind , why am I Banisht in Exile , If thou wilt ease a grieved mind , then send my heart a gentle smile . III. Was she as kind as she was Fair , she soon would send me some relief , And ease my mind of grief and care , and vanish all the Clouds of grief : But yet alas , it is in vain , my Love she evermore defies , Though I in sorrow here complain , yet she resolv'd to Tyranize . IV. Assist me Cupid with thy aid , and let me not be overthrown , Do thou her gentle heart invade , when she is silent all alone : When her Enc̄hanting eyes doth close ▪ and all her sences are at rest , When she is in her Night repose , then seize the Closet of her breast . V. Then Cupid took his Dart in hand , not fearing then to make her yield , He did not long disputing stand ▪ e're he subdu'd and won the field ; When Phillis frown'd her heart betray'd , and yet no creature could she see , She like a Pensive Lover said , what sudden change is wrought in me . VI. Then many sighs and tears she spent , in sorrow for her Dearest dear , Her yielding heart did then relent , sweet Coridon would thou wert here ▪ Sure pride did over-sway my heart , causing Ambition so to Reign , But since I feel Loves fatal smart , for Coridon I do complain . VII . Now when it plainly did appear , that she in sorrows did condole , This joyful tydings to his ear , revived then his fainting Soul ; The vail of grief and heaviness , no longer seemed to remain , No tongue was able to express the joys of her beloved Swain . VIII . He then Embrast her in his arms , and joyfully they did compleat The most indeared pleasant charms , with vows and tender kisses sweet ; Thus many fair expressions past , and Phillis vowing thus did say , As long as ever life doth last , i 'le be as constant as the day .
