of Troylus and Cresseida.
¶cheese, my digestion, why hast thou not serued thy selfe into
1245my table, so many meales, come what's Agamemnon?
¶Ther. Thy commander Achilles, then tell me Patroclus,
¶whats Achilles?
¶Patro. Thy Lord Thersites. Then tell mee I pray thee,
¶what's Thersites?
1250Ther. Thy knower, Patroclus: then tell mee Patroclus,
¶what art thou?
¶Patro. Thou must tell that knowest.
¶Achil. O tell, tell.
¶Ther. Ile decline the whole question. Agamemnon com-
1255mands Achilles, Achilles is my Lord, I am Patroclus know-
¶er, and Patroclus is a foole.
¶Achil. Deriue this? come?
¶Ther. Agamemnon is a foole to offer to command Achil-
¶les, Achilles is a foole to be commanded. Thersites is a foole
1265to serue such a foole, and this Patroclus is a foole positiue.
¶Patr. Why am I a foole?
1270Ther. Make that demand of the Prouer, it suffices mee
¶thou art: looke you, who comes heere?
¶Enter Agam: Vliss: Nestor, Diomed, Aiax & Calcas.
¶Achil. Come Patroclus, Ile speake with nobody: come
¶in with me Thersites.
¶Ther. Here is such patcherie, such iugling, and such kna-
1275uery: all the argument is a whore, and a Cuckold, a good
¶quarrell to draw emulous factions, & bleed to death vpon.
¶Agam. Where is Achilles?
1280Patro. Within his tent, but ill disposd my Lord.
¶Aga. Let it be knowne to him, that we are heere,
¶He sate our messengers and we lay by,
¶Our appertainings, visiting of him
¶Let him be told so, least perchance he thinke,
1285We dare not moue the question of our place,
¶Or know not what we are.
¶Patro. I shall say so to him.
¶Vliss. We saw him at the opening of his tent,
¶Hee is not sick.
1290Aiax. Yes Lion sick, sick of proud heart, you may call it
