When Death shall snatch us from these Kids | B |

Whither thou and I must go | D |

To the Elizium Dorinda oh where i'st | E |

A Chast Soul can never mis't | F |

Dorinda | A |
I know no way but one our home | G |
Is our Elizium | G |

Thyrsis | B |
Cast thine Eye to yonder Skie | D |
There the milky way doth lye | H |
'Tis a sure but rugged way | I |
That leads to Everlasting day | I |

Dorinda | A |
There Birds may nest but how can I | H |
That have no wings and cannot fly | H |

Thyrsis | B |
Do not sigh fair Nimph for fire | J |
Hath no wings yet doth aspire | K |
Till it hit against the pole | L |

But in Elizium how do they | I |
Pass Eternity away | I |

Thyrsis | B |
Ho ther's neither hope nor fear | M |
Ther's no Wolf no Fox no Bear | N |
No need of Dog to fetch our stray | I |
Our Lightfoot we may give away | I |
And there most sweetly thine Ear | O |
May feast with Musick of the Sphear | O |
How I my future state | P |
By silent thinking Antidate | P |
I preethe let us spend our time come | G |
In talking of Elizium | G |

Thyrsis | B |
Then I'le go on There sheep are full | Q |
Of softest grass and softest wooll | Q |
There birds sing Consorts garlands grow | O |
Cold winds do whisper springs do flow | O |
There alwayes is a rising Sun | R |
And day is ever but begun | R |
Shepheards there bear equal sway | I |
And every Nimph's a Queen of May | I |
- | |
Dorinda | P |
Ah me ah me | G |
- | |
Thyrsis | B |
Dorinda why do'st Cry | O |
- | |
Dorinda | P |
I'm sick I'm sick and fain would dye | O |
Convinc't me now that this is true | O |
By bidding with mee all adieu | O |
I cannot live without thee I | O |
Will for thee much more with thee dye | O |
- | |
Dorinda | P |
Then let us give Corellia charge o'th Sheep | S |
And thou and I'le pick poppies and them steep | S |
In wine and drink on't even till we weep | S |
So shall we smoothly pass away in sleep | S |
