Excerpt from The Dryden Anthology: 1675-1700 A. D John Dryden, P.L. Wherever I am, whatever I do, My Phillis is still in my mind! When, angry, I mean not to Phillis to go; My feet, of themselves, the way find! Unknown to myself, I am just at her door; And, when I would rail, I can bring out no more Than, 'Phillis, too fair and unkind!' When Phillis I see, my heart bounds in my breast And the love I would stifle, is shown: But, asleep, or awake, I am never at rest, When from my eyes Phillis is gone! Sometimes a sad dream does delude my sad mind: But, alas! when I wake, and no Phillis I find; How I sigh to myself all alone! Should a King be my rival in her I adore; He should offer his treasure in vain! O, let me alone to be happy and poor; And give me my Phillis again! Let Phillis be mine, and but ever be kind; I could to a desert with her be confined, And envy no Monarch his reign! Alas, I discover too much of my love; And she too well knows her own power! She makes me, each day, a new martyrdom prove; And makes me grow jealous each hour! But let her, each minute, torment my poor mind; I had rather love Phillis, both false and unkind, Than ever be freed from her power!
