Menelaus: That was what I was doing, though I had not the name of
beggar.

Helen: Of course thou knowest, then, all about my marriage.

Menelaus: I do. But whether thou hast escaped thy lover, I know not.

Helen: Be well assured I have kept my body chaste.

Menelaus: How wilt thou convince me of this? If true, thy words are
sweet.

Helen: Dost see the wretched station I have kept at this tomb?

Menelaus: I see, alas! a bed of straw; but what hast thou to do with
it?

Helen: There I crave escape from this marriage as a suppliant.
