Phillada flouts me
[Wit Restored.]
Oh! what a pain is love,
How shall I bear it?
She will inconstant prove,
I greatly fear it.
She so torments my mind,
That my strength faileth;
And wavers with the wind,
As a ship that saileth.
Please her the best I may,
She looks another way
Alack and well a day!
Phillada flouts me.
All the fair, yesterday,
She did pass by me;
She lookt another way,
And would not spy me.
I wooed her for to dine,
But could not get her.
Will had her to the wine;
He might entreat her.
With DANIEL she did dance,
On me she lookt askance.
O thrice unhappy chance!
Phillada flouts me.
