The true lovers tragedy: : being an incomparable ballad of a gentleman and his lady. that both killed themselves for love, under the disguised names of Philander and Phillis, Phillis, Philanders scatter'd garment finds and thinks him slain, for which with fate she joyns, and with her fatal poniard striketh deep, as life no longer can its station keep; the crimson streams so fast flowd from her veins, yet dying, of her loves dear loss complains: no sooner death had closed her starry eyes, but her return'd Philander her espyes; and finding that for him she lost her breath, he kills himself, and crowns his love with death. To a new play-house tune: Or, Oh! cruel bloody fate.
