Phyllis is my only joy, <br /> Faithless as the winds or seas; <br />Sometimes coming, sometimes coy, <br /> Yet she never fails to please; <br />If with a frown <br />I am cast down, <br />Phyllis smiling, <br />And beguiling, <br />Makes me happier than before. <br /> <br />Though, alas! too late I find <br /> Nothing can her fancy fix, <br />Yet the moment she is kind <br /> I forgive her all her tricks; <br />Which, though I see, <br />I can't get free; <br />She deceiving, <br />I believing; <br />What need lovers wish for more?<br /><br />Sir Charles Sedley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/phyllis-is-my-only-joy/
