Much more in subjects having intellect

Some hidden influence breeds like effect.60

Albeit Leander, rude in love and raw,

Long dallying with Hero, nothing saw

That might delight him more, yet he suspected

Some amorous rites or other were neglected.

Therefore unto his body hers he clung:

She, fearing on the rushes[29] to be flung,

Strived with redoubled strength; the more she strived,

The more a gentle pleasing heat revived,
