| The Lovers enter at opposite doors each held by a keeper | C |

| Phillis Look look I see I see my love appear | D |
| 'Tis he 'Tis he alone | E |
| For like him there is none | F |
| 'Tis the dear dear man 'tis thee dear | D |

| Amyntas Hark the winds war | G |
| The foamy waves roar | G |
| I see a ship afar | H |
| Tossing and tossing and making to the shore | G |
| But what's that I view | I |
| So radiant of hue | I |
| St Hermo St Hermo that sits upon the sails | J |
| Ah No no no | K |
| St Hermo never never shone so bright | L |
| 'Tis Phillis only Phillis can shoot so fair a light | L |

| And shall I conclude my pains | S |
| Now bless'd be the powers above | R |
| I feel the blood bound in my veins | S |
| With a lively leap it began to move | T |
| And the vapours leave my brains | S |
| - | |
| Amyntas Body join'd to body and heart join'd to heart | U |
| To make sure of the cure | V |
| Go call the man in black to mumble o'er his part | U |
| - | |
| Phillis But suppose he should stay | W |
| - | |
| Amyntas At worst if he delay | W |
| 'Tis a work must be done | F |
| We'll borrow but a day | W |
| And the better the sooner begun | F |
| - | |
| Cho of both At worst if he delay c | X |
| - | |
| - | |
| They run out together hand in hand | Y |
