HAil to the Mirtle Shade, all hail to'th Nymphs of the field Kings will not here Invade, though Vertue all freedom yields: Beauty here opens her arms, to soften the Languishing mind, And Phillis unlocks her Charms, ah! Phillis so fair and unkind.
Phillis the Soul of Love, the joy of the neighbouring Swains, Phillis that Crowns the Grove, and does guide the flowring Plains: Phillis who ne'r had skill to Paint, or to Patch, or be fine, Yet Phillis whose eyes can kill, that Nature hath made Divine.
Phillis whose Charming tongue, makes labour and pain delight, Phillis that makes the day long, and shortens the livelong night. Phillis whose Lips like May, still laughs on those sweets they bring Whose love ne'r knew decay, but thence flows Eternal Spring. Her eyes like Stars appear, from her Angel-face they shine, As Phoebus in his Sphear they dazel this Soul of mine; Whilst Rosie Cheeks o're-spread, with fragrant and rich Perfume, There Cupid makes his Bed, where choice pleasures ever bloom: And pleasant Nectar Sips, oh! where joys forever grow, Eke from her Corral Lips, inclosing Pearls as white as Snow: So Ravishing and fair, no Mortal ever yet view'd, Transports beyond compare, which Caesar would have subdu'd. And force from him his Arms, whilst he his great Conquest yields, And bows to Phillis Charms, triumphs of his Conquer'd Fields: Laying his Greatness down, even at her Virgins feet, In Romes Imperial Crown, my bright Phillis Love to meet.
Or Alexander whom the proud Eastern world obey'd, Might here have sought a Room, and in his Conquests laid: What joys seiz'd when by'th Spring, oh! I first beheld her face, Such as bright Angels bring to the Dying Saints apace. I lowly bow'd to earth, and kiss the humble ground, Telling her of my Brith, I and of my fatal Wound: She smil'd upon me then, and sighing, alas poor Swain, So smil'd and sigh'd again, and straight bid me not complain. Then in her Ivory Arms, she rais'd me softly, crying, Alas! what can my Charms so powerful prove in trying: My Doranus to destroy, then I leaning on her breast, And whilst she call'd me joy, I with trembling Lips them prest. At which she laid her down amongst the Lillies fair, And there my Love did Crown, with joys far beyond compare; Such Heavenly transports none upon earth could ever yield, Except Phillis alone, who Charms the Woods and Field.
