O what unhop't for sweet supply !
O what ioyes exceeding !
What an affecting charme feele I,
From delight proceeding !
That which I long despair'd to be,
To her I am, and shee to mee.

Shee that alone in cloudy griefe
Long to mee appeared,
Shee now alone with bright reliefe
All those clouds hath cleared.
Both are immortall and diuine :
Since I am hers, and she is mine.
