Menelaus: Ah me! is our daughter Hermione yet alive?

Helen: Still unwed, childless still, she mourns my fatal marriage.

Menelaus: O Paris, who didst utterly o'erthrow my home, here was thy
ruin too and theirs, those countless mail-clad Danai.

Helen: From my country, city, and from thee heaven cast me forth unhappy
and accursed, because I left,-and yet not I,-home and husband for
union of foul shame.

Leader of the Chorus: If haply ye find happiness in the future, it
will suffice when to the past ye look.

Messenger: Menelaus, grant me too a portion of that joy which, though
mine own eyes see, I scarcely comprehend.

Menelaus: Come then, old friend, and share with us our talk.
