Among the demi-gods thou only art accounted meet{
To be the Son-in-law to Jove! for underneath one sheet{
His daughter lies with thee! Of all that tread on ground with feet{
There is not such a one in Greece! Now sure some goodly thing
She will thee bear; if it be like the mother that she bring.
For we, her peers in age, whose course of life is e'en the same;
Who, at Eurotas' streams, like men, are oilèd to the game:
And four times sixty Maids, of all the women youth we are;
Of these none wants a fault, if her with Helen we compare.
