With lords that made resort

From Calydon’s high court,

And western isles, at call of Helen’s fame,

Wooing the hand of Leda’s heavenly daughter:

But soon such jealousy and deadly gall

Inflamed the suitors all,

That then and there the fated slaughter

Of Danaans had begun,

Had not grave Tyndareus, her mortal sire,

To quench the kindling fire,
