Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/190



Leucote flies to all the winds, And from the Fates their outrage blinds, That Hero and her love may meet. Leander, with Love's complete fleet Mann'd in himself, puts forth to seas, When straight the ruthless Destinies, With Até, stir the winds to war Upon the Hellespont: their jar ''Drowns poor Leander. Hero's eyes,'' Wet witnesses of his surprise, Her torch blown out: grief casts her down Upon her love, and both doth drown. In whose just ruth the God of Seas Transforms them to th' Acanthides.
