O doe not passe from mee in vayne | C |
Goe mingle with her soule divine | C |
Ingendring spiritts like to mine | C |
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 |
