Dead; and to your tomb shall be given a name—;
Hecuba
Recalling my form, or what will you tell me?
Polymestor
The hapless hounds grave, a mark for mariners.
Hecuba
It is nothing to me, now that you have paid me the penalty.
Polymestor
Further, your daughter Cassandra must die.
Hecuba
I scorn the prophecy! I give it to you to keep for yourself.
Polymestor
The wife of Agamemnon, grim keeper of his palace, shall slay her.
Hecuba
Never may the daughter of Tyndareus do such a frantic deed!
Polymestor
And she shall slay this man as well, lifting high the axe.
Agamemnon
You creature, are you mad? are you so eager to find sorrow?
