Lyrics: Thomas Carew
Phyllis, why should we delay
Pleasures shorter than the day?
Could we, which we never can,
Stretch our lives beyond their span;
Beauty like a shadow flies,
And our youth before us dies.
Or would youth and beauty stay,
Love has wings and will away.
Phyllis, why should we delay
Pleasures shorter than the day?
Could we, which we never can,
Stretch our lives beyond their span;
Beauty like a shadow flies,
And our youth before us dies.
Or would youth and beauty stay,
Love has wings and will away.
