Refrain:
Phyllis is my only joy,
Faithless as the wins and seas;
Sometimes forward, sometime coy,
Yet she never fails to please.

If with a frown, I am cast down
Phyllis smiling, and beguiling,
Makes me happier than before.
She makes me happier than before.

Refrain

Though, alas! too late I fine
Nothing can her fancy fix,
Yet the moment she is kind,
I forgive her all her ticks;

Which, though I see, I can’t get free;
She deceiving, I believing;
What can lovers wish for more?
Yes, what can lovers wish for more?

Refrain
