Menelaus: For thy likeness unto Helen, fare thee well.

Helen: Ruined! in thee I found my lord only to lose thee.

Menelaus: The greatness of my troubles at Troy convinces me; thou
dost not.

Helen: Ah, woe is me! who was ever more unfortunate than I? Those
whom I love best are leaving me, nor shall I ever reach Hellas, my
own dear native land. (The First Messenger enters in haste.)

Messenger: At last I find thee, Menelaus, after an anxious search,
not till I have evandered through the length and breadth of this foreign
strand; I am sent by thy comrades, whom thou didst leave behind.

Menelaus: What news? surely you are not being spoiled by the barbarians?

Messenger: A miracle hath happened; my words are too weak for the
reality.
