First Line: Come anthea, know thou this
Last Line: Soules transfusing thus, and die.


Come Anthea, know thou this,
Love at no time idle is:
Let's be doing, though we play
But at push-pin (half the day:)
Chains of sweet bents let us make,
Captive one, or both, to take:
In which bondage we will lie,
Soules transfusing thus, and die.
