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?

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.
