Theoclymenus: How now?

Messenger: Make haste to woo a new wife; for Helen hath escaped.

Theoclymenus: Borne aloft on soaring wings, or treading still the
earth?

Messenger: Menelaus has succeeded in bearing her hence; 'twas he that
brought the news of his own death.

Theoclymenus: O monstrous story! what ship conveyed her from these
shores? Thy tale is past belief.

Messenger: The very ship thou didst thyself give the stranger; and
that thou mayest briefly know all, he is gone, taking thy sailors
with him.

Theoclymenus: How was it? I long to know, for I never thought that
a single arm could master all those sailors with whom thou wert despatched.
