Whose deadly frownes, him erst of ioy beryuen:
To set a period to Leanders toyle,
Hauing enioy'd that long desired soyle.

And Delphos sacred hie erected towers,
Vnto Apollo's Oracle he goes,
In hope to finde reliefe for many woes;
He craues long lookt-for rest, or else to die,
To whome the Oracle gan thus reply.
