1. Christopher Marlowe, Hero and Leander part 2, subpart sestyad 4
   Now as with setled minde she did repaire,
   Her thoughts to sacrifice her ravisht haire,
   And her torne robe which on the altar lay,
   And only for Religions fire did stay;
   She heard a thunder by the Cyclops beaten,
   In such a volley as the world did threaten,
   Given Venus as she parted th'ayrie Sphere,
   Discending now to chide with Hero here:
   When suddenly the Goddesse waggoners,
   The Swans and Turtles that in coupled pheres,
   Through all worlds bosoms draw her influence,
   Lighted in Heros window, and from thence
   To her fayre shoulders flew the gentle Doves,
   Gracefull Aedone that sweet pleasure loves,
   And ruffoot Chreste with the tufted crowne,
   Both which did kisse her, though their Goddes frowne.
