The dispairing shepherds advice to rash lovers: or, a caution against flattery. Being a most pleasant and delightful new play-song. Kind Strephons love makes scornful Phillis flye, and look on him with a disdainful eye; 'tis so with all young virgins, when they prove their youthful suitors both admire and love; then youths beware that when you love most dear, let then the least love outwardly appear. Tune of, Hail to the mirtle shades
