[Enter ACHILLES, with Myrmidons]
- Achilles. Come here about me, you my Myrmidons;
Mark what I say. Attend me where I wheel:
Strike not a stroke, but keep yourselves in breath:
And when I have the bloody Hector found,
3560
Empale him with your weapons round about;
In fellest manner execute your aims.
Follow me, sirs, and my proceedings eye:
It is decreed Hector the great must die.
[Exeunt]
3565
[Enter MENELAUS and PARIS, fighting:]
then THERSITES]
- Thersites. The cuckold and the cuckold-maker are at it. Now,
bull! now, dog! 'Loo, Paris, 'loo! now my double-
henned sparrow! 'loo, Paris, 'loo! The bull has the
3570
game: ware horns, ho!
[Exeunt PARIS and MENELAUS]
[Enter MARGARELON]
- Margarelon. Turn, slave, and fight.
- Thersites. What art thou?
3575
- Margarelon. A bastard son of Priam's.
- Thersites. I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am a bastard
begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard
in valour, in every thing illegitimate. One bear will
not bite another, and wherefore should one bastard?
3580
Take heed, the quarrel's most ominous to us: if the
son of a whore fight for a whore, he tempts judgment:
farewell, bastard.
[Exit]
- Margarelon. The devil take thee, coward!
3585
[Exit]
