No, but will close over you when you fall from the masthead.
Hecuba
Who will force me to take the leap?
Polymestor
Of your own accord you will climb the ships mast.
Hecuba
With wings upon my back, or by what means?
Polymestor
You will become a dog with bloodshot gaze.
Hecuba
How did you know of my transformation?
Polymestor
Dionysus, our Thracian prophet, told me so.
Hecuba
And did he prophesy to you nothing of your present trouble?
Polymestor
No, for you would never have caught me thus by guile.
Hecuba
Dead or alive shall I complete my life here?
