Helen: Thy answer shows more wisdom than my question. Omit the rest,
and tell me only this; how long wert thou a weary wanderer o'er the
wide sea's face?

Menelaus: Seven long years did I see come and go, besides those ten
in Troy.

Helen: Alas, poor sufferer! 'twas a weary while. And thou hast thence
escaped only to bleed here.

Menelaus: How so? what wilt thou tell? Ah wife, thou hast ruined me.

Helen: Escape and fly with all thy speed from this land. Thou wilt
be slain by him whose house this is.

Menelaus: What have I done to merit such a fate?

Helen: Thou hast arrived unexpectedly to thwart my marriage.
