| Nay they do stole | F |
| Me like an aura of her soul | F |
| I yield them love for yours | B |

| I had no life until it was | B |
| All yours my love all yours | B |
| - | |
| Yet stern possession I have my death | J |
| Sole yielding up of my sole breath | J |

| Ah but not heaven my own endures | B |
| I must perforce | B |
| Taste you my stream in God your source | B |
| So steep my heaven in yours | B |

| Page her triumphal name Lady | C |
| Take her the thrall is yours | B |
