O sweet Leander, thy large worth I hide
In a short grave; ill favoured stormes must chide

Thy sacred favour; I, in floods of inck
Must drowne thy graces, which white papers drink,
Even as thy beauties did the foule black Seas:
I must describe the hell of thy disease,

That heaven did merit: yet I needes must see
Our painted fooles and cockhorse Pessantrie
Still still usurp, with long lives, loves, and lust,

The seates of vertue, cutting short as dust
Her deare bought issue; ill, to worse converts,
And tramples in the blood of all deserts.

– Christopher Marlowe, from Hero and Leander (published 1598)
