     summary: Then Agamemnon said with mighty voice , Grecians leave off to fight and make a noise , Fair Helmed Hector unto a treaty shows ; Then all the Army ceased from their blows : And Hector said , Trojans and well-arm'd Greeks , Paris for whom this strife begun , now seeks A Peace , and bids you all leave off to fight , For hee fair Helen will keep as his right , If hee shall Menelaus overcome , Hee 'l keep her and her riches all at home . But Paris hath provoked to the field King Menelaus , they will end this strife with Launces , who shall call fair Helen Wife ; Then Helen thought how happy she should be , If she her Husband's Parents town should see ; White Veils did shadow her with mighty grace , And tears ran trickling down along her face ; Athra , Pitheus daughter did attend , And Clymene , whose beauty all commend ▪ They hasted , and they came to Sceat towers , Where Priam was , with all his Counsellours , Pantheus , Thymeles , Lampus was there , Clitius , Hecutaon , all men fear ; Ucalegon , Antenor , these were known To all the World to be men of renown ; The Voice they spake like Grashoppers did ring , When they in Woods , chirping on trees did sing :

     summary: Father of gods and men , To angry Juno then replyed agen , Hope not that thou shall all my counsels know , Although my Wife ; for I will never show To god or man , but what I fitting see , No god nor man shall sooner know then thee . The black-ey'd Greeks then sent Chryseis home Unto her Father with a Hecatomb ; Atreides then for my Bryseis sent , Whom all the Greeks gave me with one consent : Now scale Olympus , and great Jove implore , If thou by word or deed didst ere restore Joy to his heart ; I have often heard thee vaunt In our own Court how thou wast conversant In saving of our black-Cloud-gathering Jove , Whom Pallas , Neptune , and the great Queen ( above ) Of Heaven would bind , thou callst the hundred-hands Briareus to rescue Jove from bands ; Gods call him so , Egeon amongst men He is call'd , surpast , and was as strong again As his own Father ; He by Jove did sit In Heaven ; the Immortals did not envy it .
