but to keep that gold in your own house. In your trouble you make a case in your own interests. Perhaps among you it is a light thing to murder guests, but with us in Hellas it is a disgrace. How can I escape reproach if I judge you not guilty?
I could not. No, since you endured your horrid crime, endure as well its painful consequence.
1252
Polymestor
Woe is me! worsted by a woman and a slave, I am, it seems, to suffer by unworthy hands.
Hecuba
Is it not just for your atrocious crime?
Polymestor
Ah, my children! ah, my blinded eyes! woe is me!
Hecuba
You grieve; but what of me? Do you think I do not grieve for my son?
Polymestor
You wicked wretch! Is your delight in mocking me?
Hecuba
Yes, for I am avenged on you; have I not cause for delight?
Polymestor
It will soon cease, when oceans flood
Hecuba
Shall convey me to the shores of Hellas?
