Phyllis is my only joy,
 Faithless as the winds or seas;
Sometimes coming, sometimes coy,
 Yet she never fails to please;
If with a frown
I am cast down,
Phyllis 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, though I see,
I can't get free;
She deceiving,
I believing;
What need lovers wish for more?
