The words "come" and "die" have two meanings.
If you're suggesting that "come" has an orgasm-related secondary
meaning, I think you're centuries early. I'm pretty certain Dowland
would not have started with "Come again" if he thought it meant
"have a second orgasm." It would make no sense in context.
As far as I know, "come" did not acquire such a meaning until long
after "die" ceased to be understood in a sexual sense. Do you have
other information?
I think that this is a debate topic that can only climax in
frustration for all concerned.
