Lucasta.Tell me Alexis what this parting is,
That so like dying is, but is not it?
Alexis.
It is a swounding for a while from blisse,
'Till kind how doe you call's us from the fit.
Chorus.
If then the spirits only stray, let mine
Fly to thy bosome, and my Soule to thine:
Thus in our native seate we gladly give
Our right, for one where we can better live.
