Christopher Marlowe Gold Poems
- 1. Who Ever Loved That Loved Not At First Sight?
It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is overruled by fate.
When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,
We wish that one should love, the other win;
... - 2. Hero And Leander
It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is over-rul'd by fate.
hen two are stript long ere the course begin,
We wish that one should lose, the other win;

_Jack._ Seest thou not yon farmer's son?
He hath stoln my love from me, alas!
What shall I do? I am undone;
My heart will ne'er be as it was.
... - 4. The Passionate Shepherd To His Love

And we will all the pleasures prove,
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
And all the craggy mountain yields.

Viewing Leander's face, fell down and fainted.

Wherewith as one displeased away she trips.
... - 6. Hero And Leander: The First Sestiad
On Hellespont, guilty of true love's blood,
In view and opposite two cities stood,
Sea-borderers, disjoin'd by Neptune's might;
The one Abydos, the other Sestos hight.
