THough, Phillis, your prevailing charms
Have forc'd me from my Celia's arms
That kind defence against all powers,
But those resistless eyes of yours:
Think not your conquest to maintain,
By rigour and un…ust disdain;
In vain, fair Nymph, in vain you strive
For love does seldom hope survive.
My heart may languish for a time,
Whilest all your Glories in their prime
Can justifie such cruelty.
By the same force that conquer'd me,
When age shall come, at whose command
Those troops of beauties must disband;
A Tyrants strength once took away,
What slave so dull as to obey!
