On Phillis.
Let fortune and Phillis frowne if they please,
Ile noe more on there deities call,
Nor trouble the fates, but will give my selfe ease,
And be happy in spite of them all.
I will have my Phillis, if I once goe about her,
But if I have not, I am better without her.
Ile noe more on there deities call,
Nor trouble the fates, but will give my selfe ease,
And be happy in spite of them all.
I will have my Phillis, if I once goe about her,
But if I have not, I am better without her.
Yet if she prove vertuous, oblidging, and kind,
I then may vouchsafe for to love her;
But if pride or unconstancy in her I find,
I'de have her to know I'm above her:
For at length I have learnt, since my Phillis is gon
To love if I please, or to let it alone.
I then may vouchsafe for to love her;
But if pride or unconstancy in her I find,
I'de have her to know I'm above her:
For at length I have learnt, since my Phillis is gon
To love if I please, or to let it alone.
