So that I conceive here is meant rather such kind of Helmets as by Vegetius are described Pilei quos Pannonicos vocant ex pellibus Phoebus from envious Zephyre who appear'd His Rival could not yet secure the boy The story is thus related by Apollo to Mercury in Lucian dialog Mercurij Apollo {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} i. e.

our Will As Arbiter of Beauty he declare VVhich of these Goddesses excells in rare Conjunction of arch'd Eyebrows lovely grace And well-proportion'd roundness of the Face And she that seems the fairest in his Eyes To have the Apple as her Beauties prize This charge on Mercury Saturnius laies VVho humbly his great Sires Commands obeys And with officious care Th'Immortals guides VVhilst each her self in her own Beauty prides But as they went Loves subtle Queen her heads Rich Tire unloosing with gold Fillets breads Her curious Hair then thus with Eyes intent On her wing'd Sons her troubled thoughts does vent The strife is neer deer Sons your Mother aide This day must crown my Beauty or degrade And much I fear to whom this Clown will give The golden fruit Juno all men beleeve To be the Graces reverend Nurse to Her The gift of Scepters they assign in War A powerfull Goddess is Minerva deem'd But We alone are of no Pow'r esteem'd Nor Empires We nor Martiall Arms bestow Yet why without a cause thus fear We though Minervas spear We have not We yet better Are with our Caestus arm'd sweet Loves soft Fetter Our Caestus that our Bow is that our sting Which smart to Women but not death does bring Thus rosie-finger'd Venus on the Way To her attending Cupids spake whilst they With dutious Words their drooping Mother cheer And now they reach'd the Top of Ida where The youthfull Paris neer Anaurus head His Father's sheep in Flocks divided fed Here of his roving Buls he count doth keep And there he reckons o'r his well-fed sheep Low as his Knee a Mountain Goats rough hide Hung from his shoulders flagging by his side In 's hand a Neatheards Goad such to the Eye As slowly to his Pipes soft Melody He moves appear'd the gentle Phrygian Swain Tuning on 's Reed a sweet though rurall strain I' th' solitary stalls oft would he set Himself with Songs delighting and forget The care both of his Heards and Flocks the Praise Of Pan and Hermes subject of his Layes With Shepheards most in use whose sweeter Note No Dogs rude Howl no Bulls loud-bellowing Throat Disturbs but Eccho only that affords An artless sound in unarticulate Words His Oxen cloy'd with the rank Grass were layd Stretching their fat sides in the cooler shade Under th' Umbrella of a spreading Tree Whilst he himself sate singing but when he Spy'd Hermes with the Goddesses afraid Upstarting from their sight he would have made And his sweet Pipe among the Bushes flung Abruptly clos'd his scarce commenced Song To whom amaz'd thus Heavens wing'd Nuncins spake Cast away fear a while thy Flocks forsake Thou must in Judgement sit and freely tell Which of these Pow'rs in Beauty does excell And to the fairest this fair fruit present Thus he when Paris with Eyes mildly bent In amorous Glances of their Beauties took Exact survey which had the gracefull'st Look The brightest Eyes whose Neck the whitest skin Not leaving ought from Head to Heel unseen To whom Minerva first her self addrest Then taking by the hand these Words exprest Come hither Paris leave Jove's Wife behind Nor Venus President of Nuptials mind Pallas of Valour the Directress praise Intrusted with large Rule and Power Fame saies Thou govern'st Troy Me chief for Form confess I 'll make thee too its Guardian in distress Comply and 'gainst Bellona's dreadfull Harms Secur'd I 'll teach thee the bold deeds of Arms Thus Pallas courted him she scarce had done When with fair Words and Looks Juno begun If me the Prize of Beauty thou 'lt assign The Empire of all Asia shall be thine Slight Wars what good from thence to Princes springs Both valiant men and Cowards stoop to Kings Nor doe Minerva's Followers oft rise high But Servants rather to Bellona dy This glorious Proffer stately Juno made But Venus her large Veil unloos'd displayd Her whiter Bosome nor at all was shy But did the honied Chain of Loves unty And whilst to view she her fair Breasts disclos'd Thus spake her Looks into sweet smiles dispos'd Our Beauty Wars forgot our Beauty prize And Empires and the Asian Lands despise We know not Wars nor use of Shields can tell In Beauty Women rather should excell For Valour I 'll to thee a Wise commend Stead of a Throne fair Hellens Bed ascend A Spouse thee Troy and Sparta shall behold Scarce had she ended when the fruit of Gold To Venus as her Beauties noble Prize The Swain presented whence dire Wars did rise Who in her hand as she the Apple weigh'd Did Juno and Minerva thus upbraid Yield me the Victory yield me fair Friends Beauty I lov'd and Beauty me attends Juno they say thou gav'st the Graces Life Yet they have all forsook thee in this strife Though thou to Mars and Vulcan Mother art Nor Mars nor Vulcan did their Aid impart Though this in Flames that glory in his Spear Yet neither one nor other helpt thee here How thou braggd'st too who from no Mothers wombe But Jove's cleft Skull the Birth of Steel didst come In Armour how thy Limbs are drest how Love Thou shunn'st and dost the Toyls of Mars approve Alike to Peace and Wedlock opposite Minerva know that such for glorious Fight Are much unfit whom by their Limbs none well Whether they Men or Women be can tell Sad Pallas thus proud of her Victory She flouts and her and June both puts by Whilst she the fatall Prize of Beauty won Inflam'd with Love hot in pursuit of one To him unknown with inauspicious Fate Men skill'd in Architecture Paris strait To a dark Wood conducts where in a Trice Tall Oaks are fell'd by Phereclus Advice Of Ills the Author who before to please His fond King Ships had built whilst for the Seas Paris does Ida change and on the shore With frequent Pray'rs and Sacrifice implore His kind Assistant Queen of Marriage-vows Then the broad Back of Hellespontus ploughs But sad presaging Omens did

Trojan Shores forsook he held His Course for Greece and born with winged hast Ismarus Mouth and tall Pangaeus past Then Love-slain Phyllis rising Monument And of the Walk which oft she came and went The Ninefold Round he saw there she to mourn Did use while her Demophoons safe Return She from Athenian Lands expected then Coasting by Thessalies broad Shores in Kenn The fair Achaian Cities next appear'd Men-breeding Phthia and Mycene rear'd High and wide built when the rich Meadows past Water'd by Erymanthus He at last Spies Sparta lov'd Atrides City plac'd Near cleer Eurotas with rare Beauties grac'd Not far from whence under a shady Wood H'admiring saw how sweet Therapuae stood For now but a short Cut he had to sail Nor long was heard the dash of Oars They hale The Ship to
