English text
Thirsis, on his fair Phyllis’ breast reposing,
Sweetly did languish,
When she, in love’s sweet anguish,
Him kissing gently, said thus, with tender glances,
“Thirsis, O tell me, thy true love best approved,
Art not thou my best beloved?”
Then he, which to her heart was ever nearest,
Kiss’d her again and said, “Yes, lady dearest”.
