12

courtly and thou art too cunning. At whose request
do these men play?

Servant. That's to 't indeed, sir: marry, sir, at the request

the mortal Venus, the heart-blood of beauty, love's
invisible soul,—

attributes?

III,1,1533

Pandarus. It should seem, fellow, that thou hast not seen the
Lady Cressida. I come to speak with Paris from the
Prince Troilus: I will make a complimental assault
upon him, for my business seethes.

Servant. Sodden business! there's a stewed phrase indeed!


15

V,5,3458

Diomedes. Go, go, my servant, take thou Troilus' horse;
Present the fair steed to my lady Cressid:
Fellow, commend my service to her beauty;
Tell her I have chastised the amorous Trojan,
And am her knight by proof.

Servant. I go, my lord.
