Forth did his beautie for his beautie looke,
And saw her through her Torch, as you beholde
Sometimes within the Sunne, a face of golde,
Form'd in strong thoughts, by that traditions force,
That saies a God sits there and guides his course.
His sister was with him, to whom he shewd
Form'd in strong thoughts, by that traditions force,
That saies a God sits there and guides his course.
His sister was with him, to whom he shewd
His guide by Sea: and sayd; Oft have you viewd
In one heaven many starres, but never yet
In one heaven many starres, but never yet
In one starre many heavens till now were met.
See lovely sister, see, now Hero shines
No heaven but her appeares: each star repines,
And all are clad in clowdes, as if they mournd,
To be by influence of Earth out-burnd.
Yet doth she shine, and teacheth vertues traine,
Still to be constant in Hels blackest raigne:
See lovely sister, see, now Hero shines
No heaven but her appeares: each star repines,
And all are clad in clowdes, as if they mournd,
To be by influence of Earth out-burnd.
Yet doth she shine, and teacheth vertues traine,
Still to be constant in Hels blackest raigne:
Though even the gods themselves do so entreat them
As they did hate, and Earth as she would eate them.
As they did hate, and Earth as she would eate them.
– Christopher Marlowe, from Hero and Leander (published 1598)
