on me! Helen Oh, by your knees, I implore you, do not impute that heaven-sent affliction to me, or slay me; forgive me! Hecuba Do not betray your allies, whose death this woman caused; on their behalf, and for my children's sake, I entreat you. Menelaus Peace, revered lady; to her I pay no heed. I bid my servants take her away, aboard the ship, in which she is to sail. Hecuba Oh never let her set foot within the same ship as you. Menelaus Why is that? is she heavier than before? Hecuba The one who loves once, must love always. Menelaus Why, that depends how those we love are minded. But your wish shall be granted; she shall not set foot upon the same ship with me; for your advice is surely sound; and when she comes to Argos she shall die a shameful death as is her due, and impress the need of chastity on all women. No easy task; yet shall her fate strike their foolish hearts with terror, even though they are more lost to shame than she.Exit Menelaus, dragging Helen with him.
