Poesy

Church Music

Sweetest of sweets, I thank you: when displeasureDid through my body wound my mind,You took me thence, and in your house of pleasureA dainty lodging me assigned.

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

Comfort, I'll die; for if you post from meSure I shall do so, and much more:But if I travel in your company,You know the way to heaven's door.
