The woman described in W. B. Yeats' poem "Leda and the Swan" is the mother of __________.

What dire offence from am'rous causes springs,
What mighty contests rise from trivial things,
I sing — This verse to Caryl, Muse! is due:
This, ev'n Belinda may vouchsafe to view:
Slight is the subject, but not so the praise,
If She inspire, and He approve my lays.

Say what strange motive, Goddess! could compel
A well-bred Lord t' assault a gentle Belle?
O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
Could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?
In tasks so bold, can little men engage,
And in soft bosoms dwells such mighty Rage?

During what decade was this poem published?

In pious times, e’r Priest-craft did begin,        

Before Polygamy was made a Sin;     

When Man on many multipli’d his kind,       

E’r one to one was cursedly confin’d,

When Nature prompted and no Law deni’d           

Promiscuous Use of Concubine and Bride;   

Then Israel’s Monarch, after Heavens own heart,       

His vigorous warmth did, variously, impart    

To Wives and Slaves: And, wide as his Command,    

Scatter’d his Maker’s Image through the Land.

Which of the following was not a contemporary of the author of this passage?

Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit    

Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste     

Brought death into the World, and all our woe,         

With loss of Eden, till one greater Man         

Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat

Sing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top           

Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire     

That Shepherd who first taught the chosen seed       

In the beginning how the heavens and earth  

Rose out of Chaos…
