Menelaus: I come as a shipwrecked man and a stranger, whom heaven
protects.

Portress: Well, get thee to some other house than this.

Menelaus: Nay, but I will pass into the house; so listen to me.

Portress: Let me tell thee thou art unwelcome, and soon wilt be forcibly
ejected.

Menelaus: Ah me! where are now those famous troops of mine?

Portress: Elsewhere maybe thou wert a mighty man; thou art not here.

Menelaus: O fortune! I have not deserved such insult.

Portress: Why are thy eyes with tear-drops wet? Why so sad?
