That man is truly blest
Come, my Daphne, come away
Too late, alas, I must confess
Shepherd in faith I cannot stay
Let England and Ireland and Scotland rehoyce
As amoret with phillis sat
I cannot change as others do
Injurious charmer of my vanquisht heart
What is't you lack, what would you buy ?
The appointed hour of promis'd bliss
Whilst on your neck, no rival boy
I promis'd Sylvia to be true
Tell my strephon that I die
Where art thou, god of dreams !
As cloris full of harmless thought
As cloris full o f harmless thoughts
Insulting beauty you mis-spend
Grieve no more, hapless strephon
All my past life is mine no more
All my past life is mine no more
As on his death bed gasping strephon lay
In the subtraction of my yeares
