An excellent sonnet of the two unfortunate lovers Hero and Leander : giving an account how Leander fell in love with the famous Hero; but being disappointed by her cruel father, who confined her in a tower, Leander resolving to swim over the Hellespont to fetch her away, a mighty storm arose, and he was drowned near her window; for sorrow of which, she leaped into the sea to him. To the tune of, Gerherd's mistress.
