 | The Heroycall Epistles of the Learned Poet Publius Ouidius Naso, In Englishe Verse |  |
The Argument of the xvj. Epistle, entituled Helen to Paris.
When Helen had the Troian writ perusdeShe thought hir selfe to shamefully abusde.
She deemde it not the part of any guest,
To whoredome so his Hostesse minde to wrest.
To quayle the Princoks pride, and make a proufe
Of spotlesse fame, at first she standes aloufe,
At length when to and fro she had discourst
Of this and that, and collour well disbourst:
She fawnes, she frownes, she freates, she speakes him faire,
She offred hope, but fed him with dispaire,
As women wont, deuising many a toie,
But Paris hir in fine conuayde to Troie.
