Hero and Leander, translated from the Greek of Musaeus.
This Piece begins thus,
Sing Muse, the conscious torch, whose mighty flame,
(The shining signal of a brighter dame)

To taste the dang'rous joys of Hero's bed:
Sing the stol'n bliss, in gloomy shades conceal'd,
And never to the blushing morn reveal'd.
