The Argument of the xix. Epistle, entituled Hero to Leander.
When
Hero had Leanders lines receiude,
His louing letters read, and throughly scand:
His faythfull hart and constance she perceiude,
Which made hir write againe with willing hand.
His louing letters read, and throughly scand:
His faythfull hart and constance she perceiude,
Which made hir write againe with willing hand.
Some time for sluggish him the Wench controlde,
To shew hir selfe a louing Lasse in deede:
Some time she biddes him not to be to bolde,
Nor hasten more to Sestus than were neede.
To shew hir selfe a louing Lasse in deede:
Some time she biddes him not to be to bolde,
Nor hasten more to Sestus than were neede.
Now cries she out against the mounting waues,
And craues a calme at cruell Neptuns hand:
And by and by with Æolus she raues,
And Boreas blamde, that did hir loue withstand.
And craues a calme at cruell Neptuns hand:
And by and by with Æolus she raues,
And Boreas blamde, that did hir loue withstand.
Some time she dreades least shee forlorne were,
(As common trade of louers is to do:)
But last of all she willes him to forbere,
And not to come whilst windes did bluster so,
And waters warrde, that perill was to passe
The cursed streame where Helle drenched was.
(As common trade of louers is to do:)
But last of all she willes him to forbere,
And not to come whilst windes did bluster so,
And waters warrde, that perill was to passe
The cursed streame where Helle drenched was.
