egregia interea coniunx arma omnia tectis emovet, et fidum capiti subduxerat ensem; intra tecta vocat Menelaum et limina pandit, scilicet id magnum sperans fore munus amanti, et famam exstingui veterum sic posse malorum.
Meanwhile, this peerless wife takes every weapon from the house'even from under my head she had withdrawn my trusty sword; into the house she calls Menelaus and flings wide the door, hoping, I doubt not, that her lover would find this a great boon, and so the fame of old misdeeds might be blotted out.
