Hecuba: 'Tis naught to me, now that thou hast paid me forfeit.

Polymestor: Further, thy daughter Cassandra must die.

Hecuba: I scorn the prophecy! I give it to thee to keep for thyself.

Polymestor: Her shall the wife of Agamemnon, grim keeper of his palace,
slay.

Hecuba: Never may the daughter of Tyndareus do such a frantic deed!

Polymestor: And she shall slay this king as well, lifting high the
axe.

Agamemnon: Ha! sirrah, art thou mad? art so eager to find sorrow?

Polymestor: Kill me, for in Argos there awaits thee a murderous bath.
