¶Lyrics / Text

Thirsis, on his fair Phyllis’ breast reposing, Sweetly did languish, When she, in love’s sweet anguish, Him kissing gently, said thus, with tender glances, “Thirsis, O tell me, thy true love best approved, Art not thou my best beloved?” Then he, which to her heart was ever nearest, Kiss’d her again and said, “Yes, lady dearest”.
