Hecuba: Dost remember the day thou camest to spy on Ilium, disguised
in rags and tatters, while down thy cheek ran drops of blood?

Odysseus: Remember it! yes; 'twas no slight impression it made upon
my heart.

Hecuba: Did Helen recognize thee and tell me only?

Odysseus: I well remember the awful risk I ran.

Hecuba: Didst thou embrace my knees in all humility?

Odysseus: Yea, so that my hand grew dead and cold upon thy robe.

Hecuba: What saidst thou then, when in my power?

Odysseus: Doubtless I found plenty to say, to save my life.
