Original text and translations
English text
- Come, Phillis, come into these bowers,
- Here shelter is from sharpest showers,
- Cool gales of wind breathes in these shades,
- Danger non this place envades,
- Here sit and note the chirping birds,
- Pleading my love in silent words.
- Come Phillis, come bright heavens eye,
- Cannot upon thy beauty pry,
- Glad Echo in distinguished voice,
- Naming thee will here rejoice,
- Then come and hear her merry lays
- Crowning thy name with lasting praise.
