Lyrics: The words by a lady

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.
