I.

NOw am I tost on waves of Love,

here like a Ship that's under Sail,

No kind entreaties will not move

my Love to send one pleasant Gale:

She is an Angel in mine Eye,

and Beauty flows in e'ry vein,

Yet I lye wounded fatally,

and by the Dart of her Disdain.

II.

The lusture of her Beauty bright,

hath kindled such a secret flame

Within my breast, that day and night,

I needs must call upon her Name;

Fair Phillis, Phillis too unkind,

why am I Banisht in Exile,

If thou wilt ease a grieved mind,

then send my heart a gentle smile.

III.

Was she as kind as she was Fair,

she soon would send me some relief,

And ease my mind of grief and care,

and vanish all the Clouds of grief:

But yet alas, it is in vain,

my Love she evermore defies,

Though I in sorrow here complain,

yet she resolv'd to Tyranize.

IV.

Assist me Cupid with thy aid,

and let me not be overthrown,

Do thou her gentle heart invade,

when she is silent all alone:

When her Enc̄hanting eyes doth close▪

and all her sences are at rest,

When she is in her Night repose,

then seize the Closet of her breast.

V.

Then Cupid took his Dart in hand,

not fearing then to make her yield,

He did not long disputing stand▪

e're he subdu'd and won the field;

When Phillis frown'd her heart betray'd,

and yet no creature could she see,

She like a Pensive Lover said,

what sudden change is wrought in me.

VI.

Then many sighs and tears she spent,

in sorrow for her Dearest dear,

Her yielding heart did then relent,

sweet Coridon would thou wert here▪

Sure pride did over-sway my heart,

causing Ambition so to Reign,

But since I feel Loves fatal smart,

for Coridon I do complain.

VII.

Now when it plainly did appear,

that she in sorrows did condole,

This joyful tydings to his ear,

revived then his fainting Soul;

The vail of grief and heaviness,

no longer seemed to remain,

No tongue was able to express

the joys of her beloved Swain.

VIII.

He then Embrast her in his arms,

and joyfully they did compleat

The most indeared pleasant charms,

with vows and tender kisses sweet;

Thus many fair expressions past,

and Phillis vowing thus did say,

As long as ever life doth last,

i'le be as constant as the day.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
