Polymestor: Thou wilt become a dog with bloodshot eyes.

Hecuba: How knowest thou of my transformation?

Polymestor: Dionysus, our Thracian prophet, told me so.

Hecuba: And did he tell thee nothing of thy present trouble?

Polymestor: No; else hadst thou never caught me thus by guile.

Hecuba: Shall I die or live, and so complete my life on earth?

Polymestor: Die shalt thou; and to thy tomb shall be given a name-

Hecuba: Recalling my form, or what wilt thou tell me?

Polymestor: "The hapless hound's grave," a mark for mariners."
