Polymestor: Aye, he was longing to steal away hither to thee.

Hecuba: Is the gold safe, which he brought with him from Troy?

Polymestor: Safe under lock and key in my halls.

Hecuba: There keep it, but covet not thy neighbour's goods.

Polymestor: Not I; God grant me luck of what I have, lady!

Hecuba: Dost know what I wish to say to thee and thy children?

Polymestor: Not yet; thy words maybe will declare it.

Hecuba: May it grow as dear to thee as thou now art to me!

Polymestor: What is it that I and my children are to learn?
