Helen: 'Tis not thus we give drowned sailors burial.

Theoclymenus: How then? I know nothing of your customs in Hellas.

Helen: We unmoor, and carry out to sea all that is the dead man's
due.

Theoclymenus: What am I to give thee then for thy dead husband?

Helen: Myself I cannot say; I had no such experience in my previous
happy life.

Theoclymenus: Stranger, thou art the bearer of tidings I welcome.

Menelaus: Well, I do not, nor yet doth the dead man.

Theoclymenus: How do ye bury those who have been drowned at sea?
