| Yet O how heavy is my hart | A |
| If thou be wynde then purge thy way | D |
| Lett cares that clogge thy force obey | D |
| Goe wynde and blow thou where thou please | B |

| Yea take my soule along with thee | H |
| To worke a stronger sympathie | H |
| Goe wynde and blowe thou where thou please | B |
| Yea breathles leave mee to my ease | B |

| My soule before my grosser part | A |
| Thus to her heaven should departe | A |
| And where the body cannott lye | I |
| On wings of wynde my soule shall flye | I |
| If not one soule our bodies joyne | C |
| One body shall our soules confine | C |
| Goe wynde and blowe thou where thou please | B |
| Yea breathles leave mee to my ease | B |
