Hero and Leander
Christopher Marlowe
Queen of the plaintive voice, the Torch resound
Witness of secret Loves, the Lover sing
On midnight billows borne to rapt'rous joys,
Veil'd from Aurora's eye; the realms relate,
By Ocean fever'd, join'd by Love.———I hear Leander dashing through the surge, I see
The glitt'ring Harbinger; benignant Light,
Fix'd by Olympus' King thy silver ray
Would grace the radiant spheres, auspicious Star,
Guardian of nuptial vows, for thine the task
To sooth the love-sick heart, ere hostil blasts
Howl'd o'er the deep, a whirlwind of despair:
Inspire the tale of woe, celestial Muse,
The Torch expiring falls, the Lover dies.
