Menelaus: What! is some man bent on wedding my wife?

Helen: Aye, and on heaping those insults on me, which I have hitherto
endured.

Menelaus: Is he some private prince, or a ruler of this land?

Helen: The son of Proteus, king of the country.

Menelaus: This was that dark saying I heard the servant tell.

Helen: At which of the barbarian's gates wert thou standing?

Menelaus: Here, whence like a beggar I was like to be driven.

Helen: Surely thou wert not begging food? Ah, woe is me!
