PHillis the fairest of love’s foes,
Tho’ fiercer than a dragon,
Phillis that scorn’d the powder’d beaux,
What has she now to brag on?
What has she now to brag on?
What has she, &c.
So long she kept her limbs so close,
Till they have scarce a rag on.

Compell’d thro’ want, the wretched maid
Did sad complaints begin,
Which surly Strephon hearing, said,
It was both shame and sin,
It was both shame and sin,
It was both, &c.
To pity such a lazy jade,
Wou’d neither kiss nor spin.
