The Second Part of Hero and Leander | ||
By this it pleas'd the smiling browes of Heauen,
Whose deadly frownes, him erst of ioy beryuen:
To set a period to Leanders toyle,
Hauing enioy'd that long desired soyle.
When he had viewd the stately territories,
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.
