Teucer: My name is Teucer; my sire was Telamon, and Salamis is the
land that nurtured me.

Helen: Then why art thou visiting these meadows by the Nile?

Teucer: A wanderer I, an exile from my native land.

Helen: Thine must be a piteous lot; who from thy country drives thee
out?

Teucer: My father Telamon. Couldst find a nearer and a dearer?

Helen: But why? This case is surely fraught with woe.

Teucer: The death of Ajax my brother at Troy was my ruin.

Helen: How so? surely 'twas not thy sword that stole his life away?
