Chorus
Soon as they reached the wooded glen, in gushing mountain
springs they bathed
1
their dazzling skin, then sought the son of Priam, comparing their rival charms in more than rancorous phrase.
2
But Cypris won the day by her deceitful promises,
285
sweet-sounding words, but fraught with ruthless overthrow to Phrygia’s hapless town and Ilium’s towers.
