Sir Charles Sedley

Here you will find the Poem Phyllis Is My Only Joy of poet Sir Charles Sedley

Phyllis Is My Only Joy

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?
