The Beggar
[ULYSSES]
You're looking well

[HELEN]
Pardon?

[ULYSSES]
Mistress Helen

[HELEN]
What do you want?
Can't you see I'm - ugh

[ULYSSES]
Time treats you kindly
I can see

[HELEN, spoken]
Oh, go away

[ULYSSES]
Please spare a few words for a beggar
Who is far from home
Tired, lost for an answer
Perhaps you can solve
How without more death
Can this hopeless war be resolved
[HELEN]
I'm tired too, sir
I've no answers
But if blood were a currency
You'd be a rich man today
Who are you, sir?

[ULYSSES]
Just a stranger

[HELEN]
You're no beggar
Somehow I'm sure
I've seen you before
I've nothing at all left to say

[TROJAN, spoken]
Stay away from thе woman, beggar

[HELEN, spoken]
No, no, leave him

[TROJAN, spoken]
If you valuе your life

[HELEN]
He's just a stranger
He is no threat to me
Grant him his freedom to leave
(spoken)
He is nothing
(sung)
Just a stranger
Searching for answers
No mortal can give
(spoken)
Please
Let him live
