POLY. Dionysius the Thracian prophet told it me.
HEC. But did he not declare to thee any of the evils which thou sufferest?
POLY. No: for, if he had, thou never wouldst thus treacherously have taken me.
HEC. [[22]]Thence shall I conclude my life in death, or still live on?
POLY. Thou shalt die. But the name of thy tomb shall be—
HEC. Dost thou speak of it as in any way correspondent to my shape?
POLY. [[23]]The tomb of the wretched dog, a mark to mariners.
HEC. I heed it not, since thou at least hast felt my vengeance.
POLY. And it is fated too for thy daughter Cassandra to die.
HEC. I renounce these prophecies; I give them for thyself to bear.
