Hecuba: There be ancient vaults filled full of gold by Priam's line.

Polymestor: Is it this thou wouldst tell thy son?

Hecuba: Yes, by thy lips, for thou art a righteous man.

Polymestor: What need then of these children's presence?

Hecuba: 'Tis better they should know it, in case of thy death.

Polymestor: True; 'tis also the wiser way.

Hecuba: Well, dost thou know where stands the shrine of Trojan Athena?

Polymestor: Is the gold there? what is there to mark it?

Hecuba: A black rock rising above the ground.
