HELEN.
263

Teucer.

None: but through Hellas rumour speaks him dead.


Helen.

(Aside) Undone—undone!—Lives Thestias' daughter yet?


Teucer.

Leda mean'st thou? Dead is she, passed from earth.


Helen.

O say not Helen's shame was death to her! 135


Teucer.

They say it. She coiled the noose about her neck.


Helen.

And Tyndareus' sons, live they, or live they not?


Teucer.

They are dead—and are not dead: twofold the tale.


Helen.

Which tale prevaileth?—(aside) Woe for mine afflictions!


Teucer.

In fashion made as stars men name them Gods. 140


Helen.

Fair tidings these! But what the other tale?
