thy advent be� 。�She catches sight of MENELAUS。�� Ha� �who is this�拭�Am

I being snared by some trick of Proteus' impious son�拭�Oh� �let me�察�like

a courser at its speed�察�or a votary of Bacchus�察�approach the tomb� �for

there is something wild about this fellow's looks�察�who is eager to

o'ertake me。

  MENELAUS

    Ho there� �thou that with fearful effort seekest to reach the

basement of the tomb and the pillars of burnt sacrifice�察�stay thee。

Wherefore art flying�拭�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�察�and is eager to take and give me to his master�察�whose wooing I

was seeking to avoid。

  MENELAUS

    No robber I�察�or minister of evil。

  HELEN

    At any rate the garb wherein thou art clad is unseemly。

  MENELAUS

    Stay thy hasty flight�察�put fear aside。

  HELEN

    I do so�察�now that I have reached this spot。

  MENELAUS

    Who art thou�拭�whom do I behold in thee�察�lady��

  HELEN

    Nay�察�who art thou�拭�The self´same reason prompts us both。

  MENELAUS

    never saw a closer resemblance。

  HELEN

    Great God� �Yea�察�for to recognize our friends is of God。

  MENELAUS

    Art thou from Hellas�察�or a native of this land��

  HELEN

    From Hellas�察�but I would learn thy story too。

  MENELAUS

    Lady�察�in thee I see a wondrous likeness to Helen。

  HELEN

    And I in thee to Menelaus�察�I know not what to say。

  MENELAUS

    Well�察�thou hast recognized aright a man of many sorrows。

  HELEN

    Hail� �to thy wife's arms restored at last��

  MENELAUS

    Wife indeed� �Lay not a finger on my robe。

  HELEN

    The wife that Tyndareus�察�my father�察�gave thee。

  MENELAUS

    O Hecate�察�giver of light�察�send thy visions favourably��

  HELEN

    In me thou beholdest no spectre of the night�察�attendant on the

queen of phantoms。

  MENELAUS

    Nor yet am I in my single person the husband of two wives。

  HELEN

    What other woman calls thee lord��

  MENELAUS

    The inmate of yonder cave�察�whom I from Troy convey。

  HELEN

    Thou hast none other wife but me。

  MENELAUS

    Can it be my mind is wandering�察�my sight failing��

  HELEN

    Dost not believe thou seest in me thy wife��

  MENELAUS

    Thy form resembles her�察�but the real truth robs me of this belief。

  HELEN

    Observe me well�察�what need hast thou of clearer proof��

  MENELAUS

    Thou art like her�察�that will I never deny。

  HELEN

    Who then shall teach thee�察�unless it be thine own eyes��

  MENELAUS

    Herein is my dilemma�察�I have another wife。

  HELEN

    To Troy I never went�察�that was a phantom。

  MENELAUS

    Pray�察�who fashions living bodies��

  HELEN

    The air�察�whence thou hast a wife of heaven's workmanship。

  MENELAUS

    What god's handiwork�拭�Strange is the tale thou tellest。

  HELEN

    Hera made it as a substitute�察�to keep me from Paris。

  MENELAUS

    How then couldst thou have been here�察�and in Troy�察�at the same

time��

  HELEN

    The name may be in many a place at once�察�though not the body。

  MENELAUS

    Unhand me� �the sorrows I brought with me suffice。

  HELEN

    What� �wilt leave me�察�and take that phantom bride away��

  MENELAUS

    For thy likeness unto Helen�察�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�察�thou dost not。

  HELEN

    Ah�察�woe is me� �who was ever more unfortunate than I�拭�Those whom

I love best are leaving me�察�nor shall I ever reach Hellas�察�my own dear

native land。

                               ��The FIRST MESSENGER enters in haste。��

  MESSENGER

    At last I find thee�察�Menelaus�察�after an anxious search�察�not till I

have evandered through the length and breadth of this foreign

strand�察�I am sent by thy comrades�察�whom thou didst leave behind。

  MENELAUS

    What news�拭�surely you are not being spoiled by the barbarians��

  MESSENGER

    A miracle hath happened�察�my words are too weak for the reality。

  MENELAUS

    Speak�察�for judging by this haste�察�thou hast stirring news。

  MESSENGER

    My message is�此�thy countless toils have all been toiled in vain。

  MENELAUS

    That is an old tale of woe to mourn� �come�察�thy news��

  MESSENGER

    Thy wife hath disappeared�察�soaring away into the embracing air�察�in

heaven she now is hidden�察�and as she left the hollowed cave where we

were guarding her�察�she hailed us thus�察 �Ye hapless Phrygians�察�and

all Achaea's race� �for me upon Scamander's strand by Hera's arts ye

died from day to day�察�in the false belief that Helen was in the

hands of Paris。 But I�察�since I have stayed my appointed time�察�and kept

the laws of fate�察�will now depart unto the sky that gave me birth�察�but

the unhappy daughter of Tyndareus�察�through no fault of hers�察�hath

borne an evil name without reason。; ��Catching Sight of HELEN�� Daughter

of Leda�察�hail to thee�察�so thou art here after all� �I was just

announcing thy departure to the hidden starry realms�察�little knowing

that thou couldst fly at will。 I will not a second time let thee flout

us thus�察�for thou didst cause tiki lord and his comrades trouble all

for naught in Ilium。

  MENELAUS

    This is even what she said�察�her words are proved true�察�O

longed´for day�察�how hath it restored thee to my arms��

  HELEN

    O Menelaus�察�dearest husband�察�the time of sorrow has been long�察�but

joy is now ours at last。 Ah�察�friends�察�what joy for me to hold my

husband in a fond embrace after many a weary cycle of yon blazing lamp

of day��

  MENELAUS

    What joy for me to hold my wife� �but with all that I would ask

about these years�察�I now know not where I may first begin。

  HELEN

    O rapture� �the very hair upon my head starts up for joy� �my

tears run down� �Around thy neck I fling my arms�察�dear husband�察�to

hug my joy to me。

  MENELAUS

    O happy�察�happy sight� �I have no fault to find�察�my wife�察�he

daughter of Zeus and Leda�察�is mine again�察�she whom her brothers on

their snow´white steeds�察�whilst torches blazed�察�made my happy bride��

but gods removed her from my home。 Now is the deity guiding us to a

new destiny�察�happier than of yore。

  HELEN

    Evil into good transformed hath brought us twain together at last��

dear husband�察�but late though it be�察�God grant me joy of my good luck��

  MENELAUS

    God grant thee joy� �I join thee in the self´same prayer�察�for of us

twain one cannot suffer without the other。

  HELEN

    No more�察�my friends�察�I mourn the past�察�no longer now I grieve。

My own dear husband is restored to me�察�whose coming from Troy I have

waited many a long year。

  MENELAUS

    I to thee�察�and thou to me。 And after these long�察�long years I have

at last discovered the fraud of the goddess。 But these tears�察�in

gladness shed�察�are tears of thankfulness rather than of sorrow。

  HELEN

    What can I say�拭�What mortal heart could e'er have had such hope��

To my bosom I press thee�察�little as I ever thought to。

  MENELAUS

    And I to mine press thee�察�who all men thought hadst gone to

Ida's town and the hapless towers of Ilium。

  HELEN

    Ah me� �ah me� �that is a bitter subject to begin on。

  MENELAUS

    Tell me�察�I adjure thee�察�how wert thou from my home conveyed��

  HELEN

    Alas� �alas� �'tis a bitter tale thou askest to hear。

  MENELAUS

    Speak�察�for I must hear it�察�all that comes is Heaven's gift。

  HELEN

    I loathe the story I am now to tell。

  MENELAUS

    Tell it for all that。 'Tis sweet to hear of trouble past。

  HELEN

    I ne'er set forth to be the young barbarian's bride�察�with oars and

wings of lawless love to speed me on my way。

  MENELAUS

    What deity or fate tore thee from thy country�察�then��

  HELEN

    Ah�察�my lord� �'twas Hermes�察�the son of Zeus�察�that brought and

placed me by the banks of Nile。

  MENELAUS

    A miracle� �Who sent thee thither�拭�O monstrous story��

  HELEN

    I wept�察�and still my eyes are wet with tears。 'Twas the wife of

Zeus that ruined me。

  MENELAUS

    Hera�拭�wherefore should she afflict us twain��

  HELEN

    Woe is me for my awful fate� �Woe for those founts and baths

where the goddesses made brighter still that beauty�察�which evoked

the fatal verdict��

  MENELAUS

    Why did Hera visit thee with evil regarding this verdict��

  HELEN

    To wrest the promise of Cypris´

  MENELAUS

    How now�拭�Say on。

  HELEN

    From Paris�察�to whom that goddess pledged me。

  MENELAUS

    Woe for thee��

  HELEN

    And so she brought me hither to Egypt to my sorrow。

  MENELAUS

    Then she gave him a phantom in thy stead�察�as thou tellest me��

  HELEN

    And then began those woes of thine�察�ah�察�mother� �woe is me��

  MENELAUS

    What meanest thou��

  HELEN

    My mother is no more�察�my shameful marriage made her fix the

noose about her neck。

  MENELAUS

    Ah me� �is our daughter Hermione yet alive��

  HELEN

    Still unwed�察�childless still�察�she mourns my fatal marriage。

  MENELAUS

    O Paris�察�who didst utterly o'erthrow my home�察�here was thy ruin

too and theirs�察�those countless mail´clad Danai。

  HELEN

    From my country�察�city�察�and from thee heaven cast me forth

unhappy and accursed�察�because I left�察�and yet not I�察�home and

husband for union of foul shame。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    If haply ye find happiness in the future�察�it will suffice when

to the past ye look。

  MESSENGER

    Menelaus�察�grant me too a portion of that joy which�察�though mine

own eyes see�察�I scarcely comprehend。

  MENELAUS

    Come then�察�old friend�察�and share with us our talk。

  MESSENGER

    Was it not then in her power to decide all the trouble in Troy��

  MENELAUS

    It was not�察�I was tricked by the gods into taking to my arms a

misty phantom´form�察�to my sorrow。

  MESSENGER

    How so�拭�was it then for this we vainly toiled��

  MENELAUS

    'Twas Hera's handiwork�察�and the
