Lyrics: The words by a lady

Phillis, with her enchanting voice,
Can all the village charm,
Make ev'ry neighb'ring swain rejoice,
And all their breasts alarm.
She is the pride of all the plain,
And joy of all the grove;
To gain her heart each strives in vain;
Each strives to gain her love.

Day after day, the shepherd runs,
And tells her of his flame;
Tells her for her alone he burns,
Adores her very name!
Nature, why did'st thou form those eyes
To wound, which will not cure?
All shepherds languish for the prize,
But none can her secure.
