PARIS Do me this one favour, Hermes: persuade them not to be angry with me, the two that are defeated, but to think that only my sight is at fault.

HERMES They say they will do so, and now it is high time for you to get your judging done.

PARIS I shall try; what else can one do? But first I want to know whether it will satisfy the requirements to look them over just as they are, or must I have them undress for a thorough examination?

HERMES That is your affair, as you are the judge. Give your orders as you will.

PARIS As I will? I want to see them naked.

HERMES Undress, goddesses. Make your inspection, Paris. I have turned my back.
