Helen: There are times when churls have more luck than their betters.

Theoclymenus: Where left he the wreck, on coming hither?

Helen: There, where perdition catch it, but not Menelaus!

Theoclymenus: He is lost; but on what vessel came this man?

Helen: According to his story sailors fell in with him and picked
him up.

Theoclymenus: Where then is that ill thing that was sent to Troy in
thy stead?

Helen: Dost mean the phantom-form of cloud? It hath passed into the
air.

Theoclymenus: O Priam, and thou land of Troy, how fruitless thy ruin!
