Teucer: Yes, because I did not join him in his death.

Helen: So thou camest, sir stranger, to Ilium's famous town?

Teucer: Aye, and, after helping to sack it, myself did learn what
ruin meant.

Helen: Is Troy already fired and utterly by flames consumed?

Teucer: Yea, so that not so much as one vestige of her walls is now
to be seen.

Helen: Woe is thee, poor Helen! thou art the cause of Phrygia's ruin.

Teucer: And of Achaea's too. Ah! 'tis a tale of grievous misery!

Helen: How long is it since the city was sacked?
