Fulke GrevilleC
-
Join mates in mirth to meD
Grant pleasure to our meetingE
Let Pan our good god seeD
How grateful is our greetingE
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
Ye hymns and singing skillC
Of god Apollo's givingE
Be pressed our reeds to fillC
With sound of music livingE
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
Sweet Orpheus' harp whose soundF
The stedfast mountains movedG
Let there thy skill aboundF
To join sweet friends belovedH
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
My two and I be metI
A happy blessed trinityD
As three more jointly setI
In firmest band of unityD
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
Welcome my two to meD
The number best belovedH
Within my heart you beD
In friendship unremovedH
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
Give leave your flocks to rangeJ
Let us the while be playingE
Within the elmy grangeJ
Your flocks will not be strayingE
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
Cause all the mirth you canK
Since I am now come hitherL
Who never joy but whenM
I am with you togetherL
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
Like lovers do their loveN
So joy I in you seeingE
Let nothing me removeO
From always with you beingE
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
And as the turtle doveN
To mate with whom he livethP
Such comfort fervent loveN
Of you to my heart givethP
Join hearts and hands so let it beD
Make but one mind in bodies threeD
-
Now joined be our handsQ
Let them be ne'er asunderL
But link'd in binding bandsQ
By metamorphosed wonderL
So should our severed bodies threeD
As one for ever joined beD

Sir Philip Sidney
