POLY. Yes: and he even sought to come to thee by stealth.
HEC. And is the gold safe, which he brought with him from Troy?
POLY. It is safe, at least it is guarded in my house.
HEC. Preserve it therefore, nor covet the goods of others.
POLY. Certainly not. May I enjoy what is mine own, O lady.
HEC. Knowest thou then, what I wish to say to thee and thy children?
POLY. I do not: this shalt thou signify by thy speech.
HEC. Be my son loved by thee, as thou art now loved of me.
POLY. What is it, that I and my sons must know?
HEC. The ancient buried treasures of the family of Priam.
