Fresh in winter & in summer – I am skilful on the
Like Amphion of Delos when he followed his flocks
And the woods & the wild beast followed his steps
But what matters it? My song is in vain – & m entreating
My grief meets despite – from the sweet maid! – but I am not sufficiently wise
Why should I try with laments to bend a stubborn maid
And thou at signt a turnest me scorn:- or cherishest
Some other lover in thy bosom. Aye! laugh on
Laugh at thy evils – hard cruel whelp of a lioness
When they well covered my eyes with earth
Let my tomb have this epitaph:
The cruel Phillis has killed her lover.
