The Argument of the xviij. Epistle, entituled Leander to Hero.
Leander looude a Lasse that Hero hight
And dwelt in Sest, the channell did deuide
Their countries so, as Sestus was in sight
Of Abydon, that stoode in th' other side.
Nightly the youth to Hero shoope his way,
And woulde returne againe before the day.
And dwelt in Sest, the channell did deuide
Their countries so, as Sestus was in sight
Of Abydon, that stoode in th' other side.
Nightly the youth to Hero shoope his way,
And woulde returne againe before the day.
At length the tempest rose, the windes did blo,
The waters wrought so roughly as they coulde,
That seauen dayes space Leander might not go
To Sestus shore, as he was wont of olde:
But yet by chaunce a Mariner there went,
By whome these lines vnto his Loue he sent,
The waters wrought so roughly as they coulde,
That seauen dayes space Leander might not go
To Sestus shore, as he was wont of olde:
But yet by chaunce a Mariner there went,
By whome these lines vnto his Loue he sent,
Wherein he shewes his Loue and faythfull hart,
Wherein he plaines against the troublous Tide,
And vowes at last (all dreade yset apart)
To swim the seas, that he before had tride:
He rather chose to hazard life, than dwell
A weeke or two from hir he looude so well.
Wherein he plaines against the troublous Tide,
And vowes at last (all dreade yset apart)
To swim the seas, that he before had tride:
He rather chose to hazard life, than dwell
A weeke or two from hir he looude so well.
