Song written on a Blank Page in Beaumont and Fletcher's Works between 'Cupid's Revenge' and 'The Two Noble Kinsmen'

Spirit here that reignest!

Spirit here that painest!

Spirit here that burnest!

Spirit here that mournest!

            Spirit, I bow

            My forehead low,

      Enshaded with thy pinions.

            Spirit, I look

            All passion-struck

      Into thy pale dominions.


Spirit here that laughest!

Spirit here that quaffest!

Spirit here that dancest!

Noble soul that prancest!

            Spirit, with thee

            I join in the glee

      A-nudging the elbow of Momus.

            Spirit, I flush

            With a Bacchanal blush

      Just fresh from the Banquet of Comus.
