Helen: Perchance we might by suppliant prayers win her over.

Menelaus: To what end? To what vain hope art thou leading me?

Helen: That she should not tell her brother thou art here.

Menelaus: Suppose we persuade her, can we get away?

Helen: Easily, if she connive thereat; without her knowledge, no,

Menelaus: Be that thy task; women deal best with women.

Helen: I will not fail, be sure, to clasp her knees.

Menelaus: Come, then; only, suppose she reject our proposals?

Helen: Thou wilt be slain, and I, alas! wedded by force.
