Thyrsis, belov'd of all the plain, A lovely, kind and blithesome swain, Till first he saw fair Jessy's eyes; And now the swain for Jessy dies. To silent groves, thus did he cry, Must Thyrsis for sweet Jessy die? Say, will she use me with disdain, And must I live to love in vain? But why should I still sigh and moan, And not to her my passion own? How can I think her heart to move, Before she knows how much I love? On wings of love I'll fly and tell Fair Jessy all the pangs I feel. Should she be kind and pity me, For ever bless'd will Thyrsis be.
