Hero and Leander 

It lies not in our power to love or hate, 
For will in us is over-rul'd by fate. 
When two are stript long ere the course begin, 
We wish that one should lose, the other win; 
And one especially do we affect 
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect: 
The reason no man knows; let it suffice, 
What we behold is censur'd by our eyes. 
Where both deliberate, the love is slight: 
Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at first sight. 

Christopher Marlowe
