+
+HERO AND LEANDER
+
+by
+
+Christopher Marlowe
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+FIRST SESTIAD
+
+On Hellespont, guilty of true-love's blood,
+In view and opposite two cities stood,
+Sea-borderers, disjoined by Neptune's might;
+The one Abydos, the other Sestos hight.
+At Sestos Hero dwelt; Hero the fair,
+Whom young Apollo courted for her hair,
+And offered as a dower his burning throne,
+Where she should sit for men to gaze upon.
+The outside of her garments were of lawn,
+The lining purple silk, with gilt stars drawn;
+Her wide sleeves green, and bordered with a grove,
+Where Venus in her naked glory strove
+To please the careless and disdainful eyes
+Of proud Adonis, that before her lies.
+Her kirtle blue, whereon was many a stain,
+Made with the blood of wretched lovers slain.
+Upon her head she ware a myrtle wreath,
+From whence her veil reached to the ground beneath.
+Her veil was artificial flowers and leaves
+Whose workmanship both man and beast deceives.
+Many would praise the sweet smell as she passed,
+When 'twas the odour which her breath forth cast;
+And there for honey bees have sought in vain,
+And, beat from thence, have lighted there again.
+About her neck hung chains of pebblestone,
+Which, lightened by her neck, like diamonds shone.
+She ware no gloves; for neither sun nor wind
+Would burn or parch her hands, but to her mind,
+Or warm or cool them, for they took delight
+To play upon those hands, they were so white.
+Buskins of shells, all silvered used she,
+And branched with blushing coral to the knee;
+Where sparrows perched of hollow pearl and gold,
+Such as the world would wonder to behold.
+Those with sweet water oft her handmaid fills,
+Which, as she went, would chirrup through the bills.
+Some say for her the fairest Cupid pined
+And looking in her face was strooken blind.
+But this is true: so like was one the other,
+As he imagined Hero was his mother.
+And oftentimes into her bosom flew,
+About her naked neck his bare arms threw,
+And laid his childish head upon her breast,
+And, with still panting rocked, there took his rest.
+So lovely fair was Hero, Venus' nun,
+As Nature wept, thinking she was undone,
+Because she took more from her than she left,
+And of such wondrous beauty her bereft.
+Therefore, in sign her treasure suffered wrack,
+Since Hero's time hath half the world been black.
+
+Amorous Leander, beautiful and young,
+(whose tragedy divine Musaeus sung,)
+Dwelt at Abydos; since him dwelt there none
+For whom succeeding times make greater moan.
+His dangling tresses, that were never shorn,
+Had they been cut, and unto Colchos borne,
+Would have allured the vent'rous youth of Greece
+To hazard more than for the golden fleece.
+Fair Cynthia wished his arms might be her sphere;
+Grief makes her pale, because she moves not there.
+His body was as straight as Circe's wand;
+Jove might have sipped out nectar from his hand.
+Even as delicious meat is to the taste,
+So was his neck in touching, and surpassed
+The white of Pelop's shoulder. I could tell ye
+How smooth his breast was and how white his belly;
+And whose immortal fingers did imprint
+That heavenly path with many a curious dint
+That runs along his back, but my rude pen
+Can hardly blazon forth the loves of men,
+Much less of powerful gods. Let it suffice
+That my slack Muse sings of Leander's eyes,
+Those orient cheeks and lips, exceeding his
+That leaped into the water for a kiss
+Of his own shadow and, despising many,
+Died ere he could enjoy the love of any.
+Had wild Hippolytus Leander seen
+Enamoured of his beauty had he been.
+His presence made the rudest peasant melt
+That in the vast uplandish country dwelt.
+The barbarous Thracian soldier, moved with nought,
+Was moved with him and for his favour sought.
+Some swore he was a maid in man's attire,
+For in his looks were all that men desire,
+A pleasant smiling cheek, a speaking eye,
+A brow for love to banquet royally;
+And such as knew he was a man, would say,
+"Leander, thou art made for amorous play.
+Why art thou not in love, and loved of all?
+Though thou be fair, yet be not thine own thrall."
+
+The men of wealthy Sestos every year,
+(For his sake whom their goddess held so dear,
+Rose-cheeked Adonis) kept a solemn feast.
+Thither resorted many a wandering guest
+To meet their loves.
+Such as had none at all,
+Came lovers home from this great festival.
+For every street like to a firmament
+Glistered with breathing stars who, where they went,
+Frighted the melancholy earth which deemed
+Eternal heaven to burn, for so it seemed,
+As if another Phaeton had got
+The guidance of the sun's rich chariot.
+But far above the loveliest Hero shined
+And stole away th' enchanted gazer's mind,
+For like sea nymphs' enveigling Harmony,
+So was her beauty to the standers by.
+Nor that night-wandering, pale, and wat'ry star
+(When yawning dragons draw her thirling car
+From Latmus' mount up to the gloomy sky
+Where, crowned with blazing light and majesty,
+She proudly sits) more overrules the flood
+Than she the hearts of those that near her stood.
+Even as, when gaudy nymphs pursue the chase,
+Wretched Ixion's shaggy footed race,
+Incensed with savage heat, gallop amain
+From steep pine-bearing mountains to the plain.
+So ran the people forth to gaze upon her,
+And all that viewed her were enamoured on her.
+And as in fury of a dreadful fight,
+Their fellows being slain or put to flight,
+Poor soldiers stand with fear of death dead strooken,
+So at her presence all surprised and tooken,
+Await the sentence of her scornful eyes.
+He whom she favours lives, the other dies.
+There might you see one sigh, another rage;
+And some, (their violent passions to assuage)
+Compile sharp satires, but alas too late,
+For faithful love will never turn to hate.
+And many seeing great princes were denied
+Pin'd as they went, and thinking on her died.
+On this feast day, O cursed day and hour,
+Went Hero thorough Sestos from her tower
+To Venus' temple, where unhappily
+As after chanced, they did each other spy.
+
+So fair a church as this had Venus none.
+The walls were of discoloured jasper stone
+Wherein was Proteus carved, and o'erhead
+A lively vine of green sea agate spread,
+Where by one hand lightheaded Bacchus hung,
+And, with the other, wine from grapes out wrung.
+Of crystal shining fair the pavement was.
+The town of Sestos called it Venus' glass.
+There might you see the gods in sundry shapes
+Committing heady riots, incest, rapes.
+For know, that underneath this radiant floor
+Was Danae's statue in a brazen tower,
+Jove slyly stealing from his sister's bed,
+To dally with Idalian Ganymede,
+And for his love Europa bellowing loud,
+And tumbling with the Rainbow in a cloud;
+Blood quaffing Mars heaving the iron net
+Which limping Vulcan and his Cyclops set;
+Love kindling fire to burn such towns as Troy;
+Sylvanus weeping for the lovely boy
+That now is turned into a cypress tree,
+Under whose shade the wood gods love to be.
+And in the midst a silver altar stood.
+There Hero, sacrificing turtle's blood,
+Vailed to the ground, vailing her eyelids close,
+And modestly they opened as she rose.
+Thence flew Love's arrow with the golden head,
+And thus Leander was enamoured.
+Stone still he stood, and evermore he gazed
+Till with the fire that from his countenance blazed
+Relenting Hero's gentle heart was strook.
+Such force and virtue hath an amorous look.
+
+It lies not in our power to love or hate,
+For will in us is overruled by fate.
+When two are stripped, long ere the course begin
+We wish that one should lose, the other win.
+And one especially do we affect
+Of two gold ingots like in each respect.
+The reason no man knows; let it suffice
+What we behold is censured by our eyes.
+Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
+Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?
+
+He kneeled, but unto her devoutly prayed.
+Chaste Hero to herself thus softly said,
+"Were I the saint he worships, I would hear him;"
+And, as she spake those words, came somewhat near him.
+He started up, she blushed as one ashamed,
+Wherewith Leander much more was inflamed.
+He touched her hand; in touching it she trembled.
+Love deeply grounded, hardly is dissembled.
+These lovers parleyed by the touch of hands;
+True love is mute, and oft amazed stands.
+Thus while dumb signs their yielding hearts entangled,
+The air with sparks of living fire was spangled,
+And night, deep drenched in misty Acheron,
+Heaved up her head, and half the world upon
+Breathed darkness forth (dark night is Cupid's day).
+And now begins Leander to display
+Love's holy fire, with words, with sighs, and tears,
+Which like sweet music entered Hero's ears,
+And yet at every word she turned aside,
+And always cut him off as he replied.
+At last, like to a bold sharp sophister,
+With cheerful hope thus he accosted her.
+"Fair creature, let me speak without offence.
+I would my rude words had the influence
+To lead thy thoughts as thy fair looks do mine,
+Then shouldst thou be his prisoner, who is thine.
+Be not unkind and fair; misshapen stuff
+Are of behaviour boisterous and rough.
+O shun me not, but hear me ere you go.
+God knows I cannot force love as you do.
+My words shall be as spotless as my youth,
+Full of simplicity and naked truth.
+This sacrifice, (whose sweet perfume descending
+From Venus' altar, to your footsteps bending)
+Doth testify that you exceed her far,
+To whom you offer, and whose nun you are.
+Why should you worship her? Her you surpass
+As much as sparkling diamonds flaring glass.
+A diamond set in lead his worth retains;
+A heavenly nymph, beloved of human swains,
+Receives no blemish, but ofttimes more grace;
+Which makes me hope, although I am but base:
+Base in respect of thee, divine and pure,
+Dutiful service may thy love procure.
+And I in duty will excel all other,
+As thou in beauty dost exceed Love's mother.
+Nor heaven, nor thou, were made to gaze upon,
+As heaven preserves all things, so save thou one.
+A stately builded ship, well rigged and tall,
+The ocean maketh more majestical.
+Why vowest thou then to live in Sestos here
+Who on Love's seas more glorious wouldst appear?
+Like untuned golden strings all women are,
+Which long time lie untouched, will harshly jar.
+Vessels of brass, oft handled, brightly shine.
+What difference betwixt the richest mine
+And basest mould, but use? For both, not used,
+Are of like worth. Then treasure is abused
+When misers keep it; being put to loan,
+In time it will return us two for one.
+Rich robes themselves and others do adorn;
+Neither themselves nor others, if not worn.
+Who builds a palace and rams up the gate
+Shall see it ruinous and desolate.
+Ah, simple Hero, learn thyself to cherish.
+Lone women like to empty houses perish.
+Less sins the poor rich man that starves himself
+In heaping up a mass of drossy pelf,
+Than such as you. His golden earth remains
+Which, after his decease, some other gains.
+But this fair gem, sweet in the loss alone,
+When you fleet hence, can be bequeathed to none.
+Or, if it could, down from th'enameled sky
+All heaven would come to claim this legacy,
+And with intestine broils the world destroy,
+And quite confound nature's sweet harmony.
+Well therefore by the gods decreed it is
+We human creatures should enjoy that bliss.
+One is no number; maids are nothing then
+Without the sweet society of men.
+Wilt thou live single still? One shalt thou be,
+Though never singling Hymen couple thee.
+Wild savages, that drink of running springs,
+Think water far excels all earthly things,
+But they that daily taste neat wine despise it.
+Virginity, albeit some highly prize it,
+Compared with marriage, had you tried them both,
+Differs as much as wine and water doth.
+Base bullion for the stamp's sake we allow;
+Even so for men's impression do we you,
+By which alone, our reverend fathers say,
+Women receive perfection every way.
+This idol which you term virginity
+Is neither essence subject to the eye
+No, nor to any one exterior sense,
+Nor hath it any place of residence,
+Nor is't of earth or mould celestial,
+Or capable of any form at all.
+Of that which hath no being do not boast;
+Things that are not at all are never lost.
+Men foolishly do call it virtuous;
+What virtue is it that is born with us?
+Much less can honour be ascribed thereto;
+Honour is purchased by the deeds we do.
+Believe me, Hero, honour is not won
+Until some honourable deed be done.
+Seek you for chastity, immortal fame,
+And know that some have wronged Diana's name?
+Whose name is it, if she be false or not
+So she be fair, but some vile tongues will blot?
+But you are fair, (ay me) so wondrous fair,
+So young, so gentle, and so debonair,
+As Greece will think if thus you live alone
+Some one or other keeps you as his own.
+Then, Hero, hate me not nor from me fly
+To follow swiftly blasting infamy.
+Perhaps thy sacred priesthood makes thee loath.
+Tell me, to whom mad'st thou that heedless oath?"
+
+"To Venus," answered she and, as she spake,
+Forth from those two tralucent cisterns brake
+A stream of liquid pearl, which down her face
+Made milk-white paths, whereon the gods might trace
+To Jove's high court.
+He thus replied: "The rites
+In which love's beauteous empress most delights
+Are banquets, Doric music, midnight revel,
+Plays, masks, and all that stern age counteth evil.
+Thee as a holy idiot doth she scorn
+For thou in vowing chastity hast sworn
+To rob her name and honour, and thereby
+Committ'st a sin far worse than perjury,
+Even sacrilege against her deity,
+Through regular and formal purity.
+To expiate which sin, kiss and shake hands.
+Such sacrifice as this Venus demands."
+
+Thereat she smiled and did deny him so,
+As put thereby, yet might he hope for moe.
+Which makes him quickly re-enforce his speech,
+And her in humble manner thus beseech.
+"Though neither gods nor men may thee deserve,
+Yet for her sake, whom you have vowed to serve,
+Abandon fruitless cold virginity,
+The gentle queen of love's sole enemy.
+Then shall you most resemble Venus' nun,
+When Venus' sweet rites are performed and done.
+Flint-breasted Pallas joys in single life,
+But Pallas and your mistress are at strife.
+Love, Hero, then, and be not tyrannous,
+But heal the heart that thou hast wounded thus,
+Nor stain thy youthful years with avarice.
+Fair fools delight to be accounted nice.
+The richest corn dies, if it be not reaped;
+Beauty alone is lost, too warily kept."
+
+These arguments he used, and many more,
+Wherewith she yielded, that was won before.
+Hero's looks yielded but her words made war.
+Women are won when they begin to jar.
+Thus, having swallowed Cupid's golden hook,
+The more she strived, the deeper was she strook.
+Yet, evilly feigning anger, strove she still
+And would be thought to grant against her will.
+So having paused a while at last she said,
+"Who taught thee rhetoric to deceive a maid?
+Ay me, such words as these should I abhor
+And yet I like them for the orator."
+
+With that Leander stooped to have embraced her
+But from his spreading arms away she cast her,
+And thus bespake him: "Gentle youth, forbear
+To touch the sacred garments which I wear.
+Upon a rock and underneath a hill
+Far from the town (where all is whist and still,
+Save that the sea, playing on yellow sand,
+Sends forth a rattling murmur to the land,
+Whose sound allures the golden Morpheus
+In silence of the night to visit us)
+My turret stands and there, God knows, I play.
+With Venus' swans and sparrows all the day.
+A dwarfish beldam bears me company,
+That hops about the chamber where I lie,
+And spends the night (that might be better spent)
+In vain discourse and apish merriment.
+Come thither." As she spake this, her tongue tripped,
+For unawares "come thither" from her slipped.
+And suddenly her former colour changed,
+And here and there her eyes through anger ranged.
+And like a planet, moving several ways,
+At one self instant she, poor soul, assays,
+Loving, not to love at all, and every part
+Strove to resist the motions of her heart.
+And hands so pure, so innocent, nay, such
+As might have made heaven stoop to have a touch,
+Did she uphold to Venus, and again
+Vowed spotless chastity, but all in vain.
+Cupid beats down her prayers with his wings,
+Her vows above the empty air he flings,
+All deep enraged, his sinewy bow he bent,
+And shot a shaft that burning from him went,
+Wherewith she strooken, looked so dolefully,
+As made love sigh to see his tyranny.
+And as she wept her tears to pearl he turned,
+And wound them on his arm and for her mourned.
+Then towards the palace of the destinies
+Laden with languishment and grief he flies,
+And to those stern nymphs humbly made request
+Both might enjoy each other, and be blest.
+But with a ghastly dreadful countenance,
+Threatening a thousand deaths at every glance,
+They answered Love, nor would vouchsafe so much
+As one poor word, their hate to him was such.
+Hearken a while and I will tell you why.
+Heaven's winged herald, Jove-borne Mercury,
+The selfsame day that he asleep had laid
+Enchanted Argus, spied a country maid
+Whose careless hair instead of pearl t'adorn it
+Glistered with dew, as one that seemed to scorn it;
+Her breath as fragrant as the morning rose,
+Her mind pure, and her tongue untaught to gloze.
+Yet proud she was (for lofty pride that dwells
+In towered courts is oft in shepherds' cells.)
+And too too well the fair vermilion knew,
+And silver tincture of her cheeks, that drew
+The love of every swain. On her this god
+Enamoured was, and with his snaky rod
+Did charm her nimble feet, and made her stay,
+The while upon a hillock down he lay
+And sweetly on his pipe began to play,
+And with smooth speech her fancy to assay,
+Till in his twining arms he locked her fast
+And then he wooed with kisses; and at last,
+As shepherds do, her on the ground he laid
+And, tumbling in the grass, he often strayed
+Beyond the bounds of shame, in being bold
+To eye those parts which no eye should behold.
+And, like an insolent commanding lover
+Boasting his parentage, would needs discover
+The way to new Elysium, but she,
+Whose only dower was her chastity,
+Having striv'n in vain was now about to cry
+And crave the help of shepherds that were nigh.
+Herewith he stayed his fury, and began
+To give her leave to rise. Away she ran;
+After went Mercury who used such cunning
+As she, to hear his tale, left off her running.
+Maids are not won by brutish force and might,
+But speeches full of pleasure, and delight.
+And, knowing Hermes courted her, was glad
+That she such loveliness and beauty had
+As could provoke his liking, yet was mute
+And neither would deny nor grant his suit.
+Still vowed he love. She, wanting no excuse
+To feed him with delays, as women use,
+Or thirsting after immortality,--
+All women are ambitious naturally--
+Imposed upon her lover such a task
+As he ought not perform nor yet she ask.
+A draught of flowing nectar she requested,
+Wherewith the king of gods and men is feasted.
+He, ready to accomplish what she willed,
+Stole some from Hebe (Hebe Jove's cup filled)
+And gave it to his simple rustic love.
+Which being known (as what is hid from Jove?)
+He inly stormed and waxed more furious
+Than for the fire filched by Prometheus,
+And thrusts him down from heaven. He, wandering here,
+In mournful terms, with sad and heavy cheer,
+Complained to Cupid. Cupid for his sake,
+To be revenged on Jove did undertake.
+And those on whom heaven, earth, and hell relies,
+I mean the adamantine Destinies,
+He wounds with love, and forced them equally
+To dote upon deceitful Mercury.
+They offered him the deadly fatal knife
+That shears the slender threads of human life.
+At his fair feathered feet the engines laid
+Which th' earth from ugly Chaos' den upweighed.
+These he regarded not but did entreat
+That Jove, usurper of his father's seat,
+Might presently be banished into hell,
+And aged Saturn in Olympus dwell.
+They granted what he craved, and once again
+Saturn and Ops began their golden reign.
+Murder, rape, war, lust, and treachery,
+Were with Jove closed in Stygian empery.
+But long this blessed time continued not.
+As soon as he his wished purpose got
+He reckless of his promise did despise
+The love of th' everlasting Destinies.
+They seeing it both love and him abhorred
+And Jupiter unto his place restored.
+And but that Learning in despite of Fate
+Will mount aloft and enter heaven gate
+And to the seat of Jove itself advance,
+Hermes had slept in hell with Ignorance.
+Yet as a punishment they added this,
+That he and Poverty should always kiss.
+And to this day is every scholar poor;
+Gross gold from them runs headlong to the boor.
+Likewise the angry Sisters thus deluded,
+To venge themselves on Hermes, have concluded
+That Midas' brood shall sit in honour's chair,
+To which the Muses' sons are only heir;
+And fruitful wits, that in aspiring are,
+Shall discontent run into regions far;
+And few great lords in virtuous deeds shall joy
+But be surprised with every garish toy,
+And still enrich the lofty servile clown,
+Who with encroaching guile keeps learning down.
+Then Muse not Cupid's suit no better sped,
+Seeing in their loves the Fates were injured.
+
+(The end of the First Sestiad)
+
+
+
+SECOND SESTIAD
+
+By this, sad Hero, with love unacquainted,
+Viewing Leander's face, fell down and fainted.
+He kissed her and breathed life into her lips,
+Wherewith as one displeased away she trips.
+Yet, as she went, full often looked behind,
+And many poor excuses did she find
+To linger by the way, and once she stayed,
+And would have turned again, but was afraid,
+In offering parley, to be counted light.
+So on she goes and in her idle flight
+Her painted fan of curled plumes let fall,
+Thinking to train Leander therewithal.
+He, being a novice, knew not what she meant
+But stayed, and after her a letter sent,
+Which joyful Hero answered in such sort,
+As he had hope to scale the beauteous fort
+Wherein the liberal Graces locked their wealth,
+And therefore to her tower he got by stealth.
+Wide open stood the door, he need not climb,
+And she herself before the pointed time
+Had spread the board, with roses strowed the room,
+And oft looked out, and mused he did not come.
+At last he came.
+O who can tell the greeting
+These greedy lovers had at their first meeting.
+He asked, she gave, and nothing was denied.
+Both to each other quickly were affied.
+Look how their hands, so were their hearts united,
+And what he did she willingly requited.
+(Sweet are the kisses, the embracements sweet,
+When like desires and affections meet,
+For from the earth to heaven is Cupid raised,
+Where fancy is in equal balance peised.)
+Yet she this rashness suddenly repented
+And turned aside, and to herself lamented
+As if her name and honour had been wronged
+By being possessed of him for whom she longed.
+Ay, and she wished, albeit not from her heart
+That he would leave her turret and depart.
+The mirthful god of amorous pleasure smiled
+To see how he this captive nymph beguiled.
+For hitherto he did but fan the fire,
+And kept it down that it might mount the higher.
+Now waxed she jealous lest his love abated,
+Fearing her own thoughts made her to be hated.
+Therefore unto him hastily she goes
+And, like light Salmacis, her body throws
+Upon his bosom where with yielding eyes
+She offers up herself a sacrifice
+To slake his anger if he were displeased.
+O, what god would not therewith be appeased?
+Like Aesop's cock this jewel he enjoyed
+And as a brother with his sister toyed
+Supposing nothing else was to be done,
+Now he her favour and good will had won.
+But know you not that creatures wanting sense
+By nature have a mutual appetence,
+And, wanting organs to advance a step,
+Moved by love's force unto each other lep?
+Much more in subjects having intellect
+Some hidden influence breeds like effect.
+Albeit Leander rude in love and raw,
+Long dallying with Hero, nothing saw
+That might delight him more, yet he suspected
+Some amorous rites or other were neglected.
+Therefore unto his body hers he clung.
+She, fearing on the rushes to be flung,
+Strived with redoubled strength; the more she strived
+The more a gentle pleasing heat revived,
+Which taught him all that elder lovers know.
+And now the same gan so to scorch and glow
+As in plain terms (yet cunningly) he craved it.
+Love always makes those eloquent that have it.
+She, with a kind of granting, put him by it
+And ever, as he thought himself most nigh it,
+Like to the tree of Tantalus, she fled
+And, seeming lavish, saved her maidenhead.
+Ne'er king more sought to keep his diadem,
+Than Hero this inestimable gem.
+Above our life we love a steadfast friend,
+Yet when a token of great worth we send,
+We often kiss it, often look thereon,
+And stay the messenger that would be gone.
+No marvel then, though Hero would not yield
+So soon to part from that she dearly held.
+Jewels being lost are found again, this never;
+'Tis lost but once, and once lost, lost forever.
+
+Now had the morn espied her lover's steeds,
+Whereat she starts, puts on her purple weeds,
+And red for anger that he stayed so long
+All headlong throws herself the clouds among.
+And now Leander, fearing to be missed,
+Embraced her suddenly, took leave, and kissed.
+Long was he taking leave, and loath to go,
+And kissed again as lovers use to do.
+Sad Hero wrung him by the hand and wept
+Saying, "Let your vows and promises be kept."
+Then standing at the door she turned about
+As loath to see Leander going out.
+And now the sun that through th' horizon peeps,
+As pitying these lovers, downward creeps,
+So that in silence of the cloudy night,
+Though it was morning, did he take his flight.
+But what the secret trusty night concealed
+Leander's amorous habit soon revealed.
+With Cupid's myrtle was his bonnet crowned,
+About his arms the purple riband wound
+Wherewith she wreathed her largely spreading hair.
+Nor could the youth abstain, but he must wear
+The sacred ring wherewith she was endowed
+When first religious chastity she vowed.
+Which made his love through Sestos to be known,
+And thence unto Abydos sooner blown
+Than he could sail; for incorporeal fame
+Whose weight consists in nothing but her name,
+Is swifter than the wind, whose tardy plumes
+Are reeking water and dull earthly fumes.
+Home when he came, he seemed not to be there,
+But, like exiled air thrust from his sphere,
+Set in a foreign place; and straight from thence,
+Alcides like, by mighty violence
+He would have chased away the swelling main
+That him from her unjustly did detain.
+Like as the sun in a diameter
+Fires and inflames objects removed far,
+And heateth kindly, shining laterally,
+So beauty sweetly quickens when 'tis nigh,
+But being separated and removed,
+Burns where it cherished, murders where it loved.
+Therefore even as an index to a book,
+So to his mind was young Leander's look.
+O, none but gods have power their love to hide,
+Affection by the countenance is descried.
+The light of hidden fire itself discovers,
+And love that is concealed betrays poor lovers,
+His secret flame apparently was seen.
+Leander's father knew where he had been
+And for the same mildly rebuked his son,
+Thinking to quench the sparkles new begun.
+But love resisted once grows passionate,
+And nothing more than counsel lovers hate.
+For as a hot proud horse highly disdains
+To have his head controlled, but breaks the reins,
+Spits forth the ringled bit, and with his hooves
+Checks the submissive ground; so he that loves,
+The more he is restrained, the worse he fares.
+What is it now, but mad Leander dares?
+"O Hero, Hero!" thus he cried full oft;
+And then he got him to a rock aloft,
+Where having spied her tower, long stared he on't,
+And prayed the narrow toiling Hellespont
+To part in twain, that he might come and go;
+But still the rising billows answered, "No."
+With that he stripped him to the ivory skin
+And, crying "Love, I come," leaped lively in.
+Whereat the sapphire visaged god grew proud,
+And made his capering Triton sound aloud,
+Imagining that Ganymede, displeased,
+Had left the heavens; therefore on him he seized.
+Leander strived; the waves about him wound,
+And pulled him to the bottom, where the ground
+Was strewed with pearl, and in low coral groves
+Sweet singing mermaids sported with their loves
+On heaps of heavy gold, and took great pleasure
+To spurn in careless sort the shipwrack treasure.
+For here the stately azure palace stood
+Where kingly Neptune and his train abode.
+The lusty god embraced him, called him "Love,"
+And swore he never should return to Jove.
+But when he knew it was not Ganymede,
+For under water he was almost dead,
+He heaved him up and, looking on his face,
+Beat down the bold waves with his triple mace,
+Which mounted up, intending to have kissed him,
+And fell in drops like tears because they missed him.
+Leander, being up, began to swim
+And, looking back, saw Neptune follow him,
+Whereat aghast, the poor soul 'gan to cry
+"O, let me visit Hero ere I die!"
+The god put Helle's bracelet on his arm,
+And swore the sea should never do him harm.
+He clapped his plump cheeks, with his tresses played
+And, smiling wantonly, his love bewrayed.
+He watched his arms and, as they opened wide
+At every stroke, betwixt them would he slide
+And steal a kiss, and then run out and dance,
+And, as he turned, cast many a lustful glance,
+And threw him gaudy toys to please his eye,
+And dive into the water, and there pry
+Upon his breast, his thighs, and every limb,
+And up again, and close beside him swim,
+And talk of love.
+Leander made reply,
+"You are deceived; I am no woman, I."
+Thereat smiled Neptune, and then told a tale,
+How that a shepherd, sitting in a vale,
+Played with a boy so fair and kind,
+As for his love both earth and heaven pined;
+That of the cooling river durst not drink,
+Lest water nymphs should pull him from the brink.
+And when he sported in the fragrant lawns,
+Goat footed satyrs and upstaring fauns
+Would steal him thence. Ere half this tale was done,
+"Ay me," Leander cried, "th' enamoured sun
+That now should shine on Thetis' glassy bower,
+Descends upon my radiant Hero's tower.
+O, that these tardy arms of mine were wings!"
+And, as he spake, upon the waves he springs.
+Neptune was angry that he gave no ear,
+And in his heart revenging malice bare.
+He flung at him his mace but, as it went,
+He called it in, for love made him repent.
+The mace, returning back, his own hand hit
+As meaning to be venged for darting it.
+When this fresh bleeding wound Leander viewed,
+His colour went and came, as if he rued
+The grief which Neptune felt. In gentle breasts
+Relenting thoughts, remorse, and pity rests.
+And who have hard hearts and obdurate minds,
+But vicious, harebrained, and illiterate hinds?
+The god, seeing him with pity to be moved,
+Thereon concluded that he was beloved.
+(Love is too full of faith, too credulous,
+With folly and false hope deluding us.)
+Wherefore, Leander's fancy to surprise,
+To the rich Ocean for gifts he flies.
+'tis wisdom to give much; a gift prevails
+When deep persuading oratory fails.
+
+By this Leander, being near the land,
+Cast down his weary feet and felt the sand.
+Breathless albeit he were he rested not
+Till to the solitary tower he got,
+And knocked and called. At which celestial noise
+The longing heart of Hero much more joys
+Than nymphs and shepherds when the timbrel rings,
+Or crooked dolphin when the sailor sings.
+She stayed not for her robes but straight arose
+And, drunk with gladness, to the door she goes,
+Where seeing a naked man, she screeched for fear
+(Such sights as this to tender maids are rare)
+And ran into the dark herself to hide.
+(Rich jewels in the dark are soonest spied).
+Unto her was he led, or rather drawn
+By those white limbs which sparkled through the lawn.
+The nearer that he came, the more she fled,
+And, seeking refuge, slipped into her bed.
+Whereon Leander sitting thus began,
+Through numbing cold, all feeble, faint, and wan.
+"If not for love, yet, love, for pity sake,
+Me in thy bed and maiden bosom take.
+At least vouchsafe these arms some little room,
+Who, hoping to embrace thee, cheerly swum.
+This head was beat with many a churlish billow,
+And therefore let it rest upon thy pillow."
+Herewith affrighted, Hero shrunk away,
+And in her lukewarm place Leander lay,
+Whose lively heat, like fire from heaven fet,
+Would animate gross clay and higher set
+The drooping thoughts of base declining souls
+Than dreary Mars carousing nectar bowls.
+His hands he cast upon her like a snare.
+She, overcome with shame and sallow fear,
+Like chaste Diana when Actaeon spied her,
+Being suddenly betrayed, dived down to hide her.
+And, as her silver body downward went,
+With both her hands she made the bed a tent,
+And in her own mind thought herself secure,
+O'ercast with dim and darksome coverture.
+And now she lets him whisper in her ear,
+Flatter, entreat, promise, protest and swear;
+Yet ever, as he greedily assayed
+To touch those dainties, she the harpy played,
+And every limb did, as a soldier stout,
+Defend the fort, and keep the foeman out.
+For though the rising ivory mount he scaled,
+Which is with azure circling lines empaled,
+Much like a globe (a globe may I term this,
+By which love sails to regions full of bliss)
+Yet there with Sisyphus he toiled in vain,
+Till gentle parley did the truce obtain.
+Wherein Leander on her quivering breast
+Breathless spoke something, and sighed out the rest;
+Which so prevailed, as he with small ado
+Enclosed her in his arms and kissed her too.
+And every kiss to her was as a charm,
+And to Leander as a fresh alarm,
+So that the truce was broke and she, alas,
+(Poor silly maiden) at his mercy was.
+Love is not full of pity (as men say)
+But deaf and cruel where he means to prey.
+Even as a bird, which in our hands we wring,
+Forth plungeth and oft flutters with her wing,
+She trembling strove.
+
+This strife of hers (like that
+Which made the world) another world begat
+Of unknown joy. Treason was in her thought,
+And cunningly to yield herself she sought.
+Seeming not won, yet won she was at length.
+In such wars women use but half their strength.
+Leander now, like Theban Hercules,
+Entered the orchard of th' Hesperides;
+Whose fruit none rightly can describe but he
+That pulls or shakes it from the golden tree.
+And now she wished this night were never done,
+And sighed to think upon th' approaching sun;
+For much it grieved her that the bright daylight
+Should know the pleasure of this blessed night,
+And them, like Mars and Erycine, display
+Both in each other's arms chained as they lay.
+Again, she knew not how to frame her look,
+Or speak to him, who in a moment took
+That which so long so charily she kept,
+And fain by stealth away she would have crept,
+And to some corner secretly have gone,
+Leaving Leander in the bed alone.
+But as her naked feet were whipping out,
+He on the sudden clinged her so about,
+That, mermaid-like, unto the floor she slid.
+One half appeared, the other half was hid.
+Thus near the bed she blushing stood upright,
+And from her countenance behold ye might
+A kind of twilight break, which through the hair,
+As from an orient cloud, glimpsed here and there,
+And round about the chamber this false morn
+Brought forth the day before the day was born.
+So Hero's ruddy cheek Hero betrayed,
+And her all naked to his sight displayed,
+Whence his admiring eyes more pleasure took
+Than Dis, on heaps of gold fixing his look.
+By this, Apollo's golden harp began
+To sound forth music to the ocean,
+Which watchful Hesperus no sooner heard
+But he the bright day-bearing car prepared
+And ran before, as harbinger of light,
+And with his flaring beams mocked ugly night,
+Till she, o'ercome with anguish, shame, and rage,
+Danged down to hell her loathsome carriage.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
