T wo famous Lovers once there was, whom Fam[e] ha[t]h [q]uite fo[r]got[t]: Who loved long mos[t] co[n]stantly, without all envious blott; Shee was most faire, and hee as true: which caused that which did ensue; fa la, Whose storie I doe meane to write, and tytle it, True Loves delight, fa la. Leander was this young-mans name, right Noble by dessent: And Hero, she whose beautie rare, might give great Jove content. He at Abidos kept his Court, and she at Sestos lived in sport, fa la, A River great did part these twaine, which caus'd them oft poore soules complaine, fa la. Even Hellespont, whose Current streames, like lightninges swift did glide, Accursed River that two hearts, so faythfull must devide. And more, which did augment their woe, their parents weare each others foe, fa la, So that no Ship durst him convey, unto the place whereas his Hero lay, fa la. Long time these Lovers did complaine, the misse of their desire. Not knowing how they might obtaine, the thing they did require. Though they were parted with rough seas, no waters could Loves flames appease, fa la, Leander ventured to Swim to Hero, who well welcomed him, fa la.
Even in t[he] midst of darkesome night, when a[ll] thinges silent were, Would young Leander take his flight, through Hellospont so cleare; Where at the shore, Hero would bee, to welcome him most lovingly, fa la, And so Leander would convey, unto the chamber where she lay, fa la. Thus many dayes they did enjoy, the fruits of their delight, For he oft to his Hero came, and backe aganie same night. And she for to encourage him, through Hellospont more bold to swim, fa la, In her Tower top a Lampe did place, whereby he might behold her face, fa la. And by this Lampe would Hero sit, still praying for her love, That the rough waters to Leander, would not offensive prove. Be mild quoth she, till he doth swim, and that I have well welcomed him, fa la; And then ever rage and rore amaine, that he may never goe hence againe, fa la. Now Boistrous Winter hasted on, when windes and Waters rage: Yet could it not the lustfull heate, of this young Youth asswage: Though windes and waters raged so, no Ship durst venture for to goe, fa la; Leander would goe see his Love, his manly Armes in Floodes to prove, fa la.

Then lept he into Hellospont desirous for to goe, Unto the place of his delight, which he affected so. But windes and waves did him withstand, so that he could attaine no land, fa la; For his loves Lampe looking about, faire Hero slept, and it gone out, fa la. Then all in vaine Leander strove; till Armes could doe no more, For naked he depriv'd of life, was cast upon the shore: Oh had the Lampe still stayed in, Leander livelesse had not been, fa la. Which being gone, he knew no ground, because thicke darknesse did abound, fa la; When Hero faire awakt from sleepe, and saw her Lampe was gone, Her senses all be nummed weare and she like to a stone. Oh from her Eyes then Pearles more cleare, procceded many a dolefull teare, fa la, Presaging that the angry Flood, had drunk Leanders Lovely blood, fa la. Then to the top of highest Tower. faire Hero, did ascend: To see how windes did with the waves, for maistership contend: And on the Sandes she did espie a naked body Livelesse lye, fa la; And looking more upont, she knew, it was Leanders bloodlesse hue, fa la.
Then did she teare her golden haire, and in her griefe thus sayd, Accursed River that art still a foe to every Mayde, Since Hellen faire, in thee was dround, nam'd Hellospont tha'rt ever found, fa la; And now to see what though canst doe, thou hast made me a mourner too. But though thou didst attach my Love, and tooke him for thine owne: That he was only Heroes deare, hencefoorth it shalbe knowne. Then from the Tower faire Hero fell, whose woefull death I sigh to tell, fa la: And on his body there did die, that loved her most tenderly fa la; Thus ended they both life and love, in prime of their young yeares: Since whose untimelie funeralls no such true love appeares: Untill more Constant love arise, their names I will immortalize, fa la. And heavens send such as have true friends, as faithfull hearts, but better ends, fa la.
