THE ARGUMENT OF THE SECOND SESTYAD. Hero of love takes deeper sense, And doth her love more recompense: He swims to' Abydos and returns: HERO AND LEANDER. THE SECOND SESTYAD. By this, sad Hero, with love unacquainted, He, being a novice, knew not what she meant, But stay'd, and after her a letter sent; Which joyful Hero answer'd in such sort, At last he came; O who can tell the greeting Look how their hands, so were their hearts united, And kept it down that it might mount the higher.- And, like light Salmacis, her body throws s'd? To slake his anger, if he were displeas'd: From the French verb. peser. |
