Therefore even as an index to a book,

So to his mind was young Leander's look.130

O, none but gods have power[31] their love to hide!

Affection by the countenance is descried;

The light of hidden fire itself discovers,

And love that is concealed betrays poor lovers.

His secret flame apparently was seen:

Leander's father knew where he had been,

And for the same mildly rebuk'd his son,

Thinking to quench the sparkles new-begun.
