To the dim polish'd baths, where, for their ease,

Cool water o'er their lustrous limbs was shed;

With oil anointed was each goodly head

By Asteris and Phylo fair of face;

Next, like two gods for loveliness, they sped

To Menelaus in the banquet-place.

There were they seated at the King's right hand,

And maidens bare them bread, and meat, and wine,
