PHILLIS WAS A FAIR MAID by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: THAT FEED UPON THE DOWN
PHILLIS was a fair maid,
And she had suitors store;
Though I a maid as Phillis was,
Yet I have ne'er the more.
A silly lass
May sigh, alas!
Whose cause doth still abound,
I daily weep,
And keep my sheep
That feed upon the down.
