Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI| I cannot change as others do | A |
| Though you unjustly scorn | B |
| Since that poor swain that sighs for you | A |
| For you alone was born | B |
| No Phillis no your heart to move | C |
| A surer way I'll try | D |
| And to revenge my slighted love | E |
| Will still love on and die | D |

| When kill'd with grief Amyntas lies | F |
| And you to mind shall call | G |
| The sighs that now unpitied rise | F |
| The tears that vainly fall | G |
| That welcome hour that ends this smart | H |
| Will then begin your pain | I |
| For such a faithful tender heart | H |
| Can never break in vain | I |
