Hmmm - so was 'find' pronounced 'foind' then? and 'mind' as 'moind'?
Perhaps the picture is not as straightforward and clear cut as this?

Dear Martyn and All,
According to the Crystals, "wind" would be pronounced something like
"woind" or "woynd." Ben Crystal helped with one of my theater group
productions a couple of years ago.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Renaissance rhyme
I suppose the question is not so much which words rhymed, but which
with which.
For example was 'wind' rhymed with the modern pronunciation of
'find/mind' - or did 'mind/find' rhyme with the modern 'wind' ?
An early spelling of 'winde' and 'kinde' might suggest the former -
but
do we/you know?

No I'm not asking that.

That is the information I was looking for. Thank you Howard.
Campion was a contemporary of Shakespeare, so good enough.
Still wondering if there is an online resource to find such
information.
