Kill me, for in Argos there awaits you a murderous bath.
Agamemnon
Ho! servants, drag away him from my sight!
Polymestor
Do my words pain you?
Agamemnon
Stop his mouth!
Polymestor
Close it now; for I have spoken.
Agamemnon
Make haste
and cast him upon some desert island, since his mouth is full of such exceeding presumption. Go, unhappy Hecuba, and bury your two corpses; and you, Trojan women, must draw near your masters tents, for lo! I perceive a breeze
just rising to waft us home. May we reach our country well and find all well at home, released from troubles here! Polymestor is dragged away by Agamemnons guards.
1293
Chorus
Away to the harbour and the tents, my friends, to prove the toils of
slavery! for such is fates relentless hest.
