Teucer.

Another won the arms: he passed from life.


Helen.

Art thou in his affliction then afflicted?


Teucer.

Even so, because I perished not with him.


Helen.

Thou wentest then to Troy-town far-renowned? 105


Teucer.

Yea, helped to smite her—and myself was stricken.


Helen.

Is she ere this aflame?—consumed with fire?


Teucer.

Yea; of her walls no trace may be discerned.


Helen.

Helen ill-starred, for thee the Phrygians died!


Teucer.

Yea, and Achaians: bitter bale she hath wrought. 110


Helen.

How long time since was Ilium destroyed?


Teucer.

Well-nigh seven summers' circles harvest-crowned.
