Sweetest of sweets, I thank you: when displeasure
  Did through my bodie wound my minde,
You took me thence; and in your house of pleasure
  A daintie lodging me assign'd.

Now I in you without a bodie move,
  Rising and falling with your wings:
We both together sweetly live and love,
  Yet say sometimes, God help poore Kings.

Comfort, I'll die; for if you poste from me,
  Sure I shall do so and much more:
But if I travell in your companie,
  You know the way to heaven's doore.
