Phillis is my only joy, | |||
Faithless as the winds and seas; | |||
Sometimes forward, sometimes coy, | |||
Yet she never fails to please. | |||
If with a frown I am cast down, | |||
Phillis smiling and beguiling, | |||
Makes me happier than before. | |||
Though alas! too late I find | |||
Nothing can her fancy fix, | |||
Yet the moment she is kind, | |||
I forgive her all her tricks; | |||
Which tho’ I see I can’t get free; | |||
See deceiving, I believing, | |||
What can lovers wish for more? | |||

Phillis is my only joy,
Faithless as the winds and seas;
Sometimes forward, sometimes coy,
Yet she never fails to please.
If with a frown I am cast down,
Phillis smiling and beguiling,
Makes me happier than before.
Though alas! too late I find
Nothing can her fancy fix,
Yet the moment she is kind,
I forgive her all her tricks;
Which tho’ I see I can’t get free;
See deceiving, I believing,
What can lovers wish for more?
