HELEN.
301

Menelaus.

A Voice that haunts dark crypts within his halls? 820


Helen.

Nay, but his sister: Theonoë her name.


Menelaus.

Oracular the name:—what doth she?—say.


Helen.

All things she knows;—shall tell him thou art here.


Menelaus.

Then must I die, for hid I cannot be.


Helen.

What if by prayers we might prevail with her— 825


Menelaus.

To do what deed?—to what hope lur'st thou me?


Helen.

To tell her brother of thy presence nought?


Menelaus.

Prevailing so, our feet might flee the land?


Helen.

Lightly, if she connive: in secret, no.


Menelaus.

Essay thou: woman toucheth woman's heart. 830
