Once I was unconfined and free, br Would I had been so still! br Enjoying sweetest liberty, br And roving at my will. br br But now, not master of my heart, br Cupid does so decide, br That two she tyrants shall it part, br And so poor me divide. br br Victoria's will I must obey, br She acts without control; br Phillis has such a taking way br She charms my very soul. br br Deceived by Phillis' looks and smiles, br Into her snares I run; br Victoria shows me all her wiles, br Which yet I dare not shun. br br From one I fancy every kiss br Has something in't divine, br And awful taste the balmy bliss br That joins her lips with mine. br br But when with th' other I embrace, br Though she be not a queen, br Methinks 'tis sweet with such a lass br To tumble on the green. br br Thus here you see a shared heart, br But I meanwhile the fool; br Each in it has an equal part, br But neither yet the whole. br br Nor will it, if I right forecast, br To either wholly yield; br I find the time approaches fast br When both must quit the field.
