"On the South-west side of Troy, standeth the Hill Ida, having three heads. On which Paris out of a sensuall delight, rejecting Juno, and Pallas, judged the golden ball to Venus, fatall in the end to the whole Countrey. The ruines of which are come to that Poeticall Proverbe:Nunc seges est ubi Troja fuit.Now Corne doth grow, where once faire Troy stood, And soyle made fat, with streames of Phrygian blood."
