Menelaus: Thou wilt betray me; that "force" of thine is but an excuse.

Helen: Nay, by thy life I swear a sacred oath.

Menelaus: What meanest thou? dost swear to die and never to another
husband yield?

Helen: Yes, by the self-same sword; I will fall by thy side.

Menelaus: On these conditions touch my right hand.

Helen: I do so, swearing I will quit the light of day if thou art
slain.

Menelaus: I, too, will end my life if I lose thee.

Helen: How shall we die so as to gain fame?
