HELEN.
285

Helen.

None other wife is thine save only me.


Menelaus.

What, is my wit sound, but mine eye diseased? 575


Helen.

Behold me—feel'st thou not thou seest thy wife?


Menelaus.

The form is hers, but plain truth bars the claim.


Helen.

Look—what more wouldst thou?—who more plainly thine?


Menelaus.

Like her thou art: this will I not deny.


Helen.

Who then shall better teach thee than thine eyes? 580


Menelaus.

At this I stumble, another wife I have.


Helen.

To Troy I went not: that a phantom was.


Menelaus.

But who can fashion living phantom-forms?


Helen.

Aether, whereof thou hast a wife god-shapen.
