Hero and Leander, an Old Ballad.
LEander on the Bay
Of Helkfpont, all naked flood 5
Impatient of Delay,
He leaped into the fatal flood :
The raging Seas
(Whom none can pleafe)
*Gainft him their Malice fhewi
The Heav'ns lour'd,
The Rain down pour'd.
And loud the Winds did blow.
Then cafting round his Eyes,
Thus of his Fate he did' complain :
Yc cruel Rocks and Skies !
Yeftormy Winds and angry Main!
What 'tis to mifs
The Lover's Blifs ;
!Mas ! ' — ye do not know 5
Make me your Wrecks
As I come back.
But fpaie me -— as I go^
