Shoot from above
Thou God of Love,
And with heavn's dart
Wound my blest heart.
Descend sweet life,
And end this strife:
Earth would me stay,
But I'le away.
I'le dye for love
Of thee above,
Then should I bee
Made one with thee.
And let be sed
Eliza's dead,
And of love dy'd,
That love defi'd.
By a bright beam, shot from above,
She did ascend to her great Love,
And was content of love to dye,
Shot with a dart of Heavens bright eye.
