Menelaus: Ho there! thou that with fearful effort seekest to reach
the basement of the tomb and the pillars of burnt sacrifice, stay
thee. Wherefore art flying? Ah! with what speechless amaze the sight
of thee affects me!

Helen: O friends! I am being ill-treated. This man is keeping me from
the tomb, and is eager to take and give me to his master, whose wooing
I was seeking to avoid.

Menelaus: No robber I, or minister of evil.

Helen: At any rate the garb wherein thou art clad is unseemly.

Menelaus: Stay thy hasty flight; put fear aside.

Helen: I do so, now that I have reached this spot.

Menelaus: Who art thou? whom do I behold in thee, lady?
