17. The Judgment of Paris.
When Pallas, Juno, Venus, did referTheir cause to Paris, chose him Arbiter;
At first, his dazled eyes could not descry,
Which radiant Beauty, did the rest outvy.
The Majesty of Juno, yet at last,
And Pallas Wisdom, mist the winning-cast.
The golden Apple's Venus Trophie. Love,
On earth is Victor; rules the Gods above.
Were Judgment now reverst, the Golden Lump
Would win: and Juno Money turn up Trump.
