The daisy amus'd my fond fancy, - So artless, so simple, so wild; - Thou emblem, said I, o' my Phillis - For she is Simplicity's child. - Chorus: - - 3. The rose-bud's the blush o' my charmer, - Her sweet balmy lip when 'tis prest: - How fair and how pure is the lily! - But fairer and purer her breast.
