29022738Pat. Out gall. Ther. Finch egge.

29042739Achil. My sweet Patroclus I am thwarted quite,

29052740From my great purpose into morrowes battell,

29062741Here is a letter from Queene Hecuba;

29072742A token from her daughter my faire loue

29082743Both taxing me, and gaging me to keepe:

29092744An oth that I haue sworne: I wil not breake it,

29102745Fall Greekes, fayle fame, honour or go or stay,

29112746My maior vow lies here; this ile obay,

29122747Come, come, Thersites help to trim my tent?

29132748This night in banquctting must al be spent, away Patroclus.

29152749Ther. With to much bloud, and to little braine, these two

29162750may run mad, but if with to much braine and to little bloud

29172751they do ile be a curer of mad-men, her's Agamemnon, an ho-

29182752nest fellow inough, and one that loues quailes, but hee has

29192753not so much braine as eare-wax, and the goodly transfor-

29202754mation of Iupiter there, his be the Bull, the primitiue statue,

29212755and oblique memorial of cuck-olds, a thrifty shooing-horne

29222756in a chaine at his bare legge, to what forme but that hee is,

29232757should wit larded with malice, and malice faced with witte,

29242758turne him to: to an Asse, were nothing hee is both Asse and

29262759Oxe, to an Oxe were nothing, her's both Oxe and Asse, to be

29272760a day, a Moyle, a Cat, a Fichooke, a Tode, a Lezard, an Oule,

29282761a Puttock, or a Herring without a rowe. I would not care,

29292762but to bee Menelaus I would conspire against desteny, aske

29302763me what I would be, if I were not Thersites, for I care not to

29312764be the Louse of a Lazar, so I were not Menelaus---hey-day

29322765sprites and fires.

29352767Aga. We go wrong we goe wrong.

29362768Aiax. No, yonder tis there where we see the lights.

29372769Hect. I trouble you. Aiax. No not a whit:

29402770Vlis. Here comes himselfe to guide you.

29412771Achil. Welcome braue Hector, welcome Princes all.

29422772Aga. So now faire Prince of Troy, I bid God night,

29432773Aiax commands the guard to tend on you.

29442774Hect. Thanks and good night to the Greekes generall.

29452775Mene. Good night my Lord.

29462776Hect. Good night sweet Lord Menelaus.

29472777Ther. Sweet draught, sweet quoth a, sweet sinke, sweet sure.

29492778Achil. Good night and welcome both to those that go or

29512779tarry. Aga. Good night. Exeunt Agam: Menelaus.

29522780Achil. Old Nector tarries, and you to Diomed.

29532781Keepe Hector company an houre or two.

29542782Dio. I cannot Lord, I haue important businesse,

29552783The tide whereof is now, good night great Hector.

29562784Hect. Giue me your hand.

29572785Vlis. Follow his torch, he goes to Calcas tent, ile keepe you

29582786company. Troy. Sweet sir you honor me?

29602787Hect. And so good night.

29612788Achil. Come, come, enter my tent. Exeunt.

29622789Ther. That same Diomeds a false hearted roague, a most vn-

29632790iust knaue, I will no more trust him when hee leeres, then I

29642791will a serpent when hee hisses, hee will spend his mouth and

29652792promise like brabler the hound, but when he performes, As-

29662793tronomers foretell it, it is prodigious, there will come some

29672794change, the Sonne borrowes of the Moone when Diomed

29682795keepes his word, I will rather leaue to see Hector then not

29692796to dog him, they say hee keepes a Troyan drab, and vses the

29702797traytor Calcas tent. Ile after----nothing but letchery all in-

29722798continent varlots.
