I WHEN Strephon the heart of fair Iris possest, 'mongst all the young shepherds she lov'd him best No Swain in a Mistress so fully was blest, For he was both her friend and her lover: Long did he court her affection in vain, Till at length soft Compassion triumph'd o're disdain That she heard all his sighs, and she felt all his pain Then the Swain found the art how to move her. Heavens did both their Souls inspire Then with an equal fire Both had but one desire Both hearts were burning O then my dear Iris I little did fear Love would be the Cause of my mourning. 2 Iris the Sprightly the witty and gay, Whose charms all bewitching and fragrant like May Will ever blooming and never decay; Was all my delight and my pleasure: She return'd all my vows, and so kind she did prove, Each smile and each glance encreased our love, And taught how I might the dear minutes improve I envyed no Monarch his treasure. But oh alas that cursed fate, Hath chang'd her mind of late, Her love is turn'd to hate, And I forlorn. Like an innocent Turtle, thats left by its mate Do remain in sad anguish and Scorn. 3 Since Iris condemns me and will not allow To hear the defence of a lover so true, To any new beauty I'le scorn e're to bow What I lov'd once will charm me for ever Tho my vows and my sighs are return'd with disdain I'le suffer her Martyr, and never complain: My Souls so fast lock'd and in love with its chain No new beauty has power to discover, And now banish'd from her sight And rob'd of all delight, I'le take a longsome flight Without e're returning. And Concealing her name, to the World I'se proclaim That Love's been the cause of my mourning.
