Which two pairs of lines in this excerpt from Homer's Iliad contain epithets about Helen?

To Helen's bed the gods alone assign
Hermione, to extend the regal line;
. . .
A golden distaff gave to Helen's hand;
And that rich vase, with living sculpture wrought,
. . .
He ceased; a gush of grief began to rise:
Fast streams a tide from beauteous Helen's eyes;
. . .
At Helen's beck prepare the room of state;
Beneath an ample portico they spread
. . .
In this suspense bright Helen graced the room;
Before her breathed a gale of rich perfume.
