Menelaus: Pray, who fashions living bodies?

Helen: The air, whence thou hast a wife of heaven's workmanship.

Menelaus: What god's handiwork? Strange is the tale thou tellest.

Helen: Hera made it as a substitute, to keep me from Paris.

Menelaus: How then couldst thou have been here, and in Troy, at the
same time?

Helen: The name may be in many a place at once, though not the body.

Menelaus: Unhand me! the sorrows I brought with me suffice.

Helen: What! wilt leave me, and take that phantom bride away?
