expect As knots, by the conflux of meeting sap,

That matter needless, of importless burden, Infect the sound pine, and divert his grain

Divide thy lips; than we are confident, Tortive and errant from his course of growth.

When rank Thersites opes his mastiff jaws, Nor, princes, is it matter new to us,

We shall hear musick, wit, and oracle. That we come short of our suppose so far,

Ulyss. Troy, yet upon his basis, had been down, That, after seven years’ siege, yet Troy walls stand; And the great Hector's sword had lack'd a master, Sith every action that hath gone before,

But for these instances. Whereof we have record, trial did draw

The specialty of rule hath been neglected : Bias and thwart, not answering the aim,

And, look, how many Grecian tents do stand And that unbodied figure of the thought

Hollow upon this plain, so many hollow factions, That gav't surinised shape. Why then, you princes, When that the general is not like the hive, Do you with cheeks abaslı'd behold our works; To whom the foragers shall al repair,

What honey is expected ? Degree being vizarded, And, like a strutting player, - whose conceit
The unworthiest shows as fairly in the mask. Lies in his hamstring, and doth think it rich
The heavens themselves, the planets and this centre, To hear the wooden dialogue and sound
Observe degree, priority, and place,

Such to-be-pitied and o'er-wrested seeming Otlice, and custom, in all line of order :

He acts thy greatness in : and when he speaks, And therefore is the glorious planet, Sol,

Which, from the tongue of roaring Typhon dropp'd Amidst the other; whose med'einable eye

Would seem hyperboles. At this fusty stuff, Corrects the ill aspects of planets evil,

The large Achiiles, on his press'd bed lolling, And posts, like the commandment of a king, From his deep chest laughs out a loud applause; Sans check, to good and bad : But, when the planets, Cries - Excellent ! 'Tis Agamemnon just. In evil mixture, to disorder wander,

Now play me Nestor; - hem, and stroke thy beard, What plagues, and what portents? what mutiny ? As he, being 'drest to some oration. What raging of the sea ? shaking of earth ?

That's done;

-- as near as the extremest ends Commotion in the winds ? frights, changes, horrors, Of parallels : as like as Vulcan and his wife: Divert and crack, rend and deracinate

Yet good Achilles still cries, Excellent ; The unity and married calm of states

'Tis Nestor right ! Now play him me, Patroclus, Quite from their fixture? O, when degree is shak’d, Arming to answer in a night alarm. Which is the ladder of all high designs,

And then, forsooth, the faint defects of age The enterprize is sick! How could communities, Must be the scene of mirth ; to cough, and spit, Degrees in schools, and brotherhoods in cities, And with a palsy-fumbling on his gorget, Peaceful commérce from dividable shores,

Shake in and out the rivet; - And at this sport, The primogenitive and due of birth,

Sir Valour dies; cries, 0! - enough, Patroclus;Prerogative of age, crowns, sceptres, laurels, Or give me ribs of steel! I shall spilit all But by degree, stand in authentick place ?

In pleasure of my spleen. And in this fashion, Take but degree away, untune that string,

All our abilities, gifts, natures, shapes,
And, hark, what discord follows ! each thing meets Severals and generals of grace exact,
In mere oppugnancy: The bounded waters Achievements, plots, orders, preventions,
Should lift their bosoms higher than the shores, Excitements to the field, or speech for truce,
And make a sop of all this solid globe :

Success, or loss, what is, or is not, serves
Strength should be lord of imbecility,

As stuff for these two to make paradoxes.
And the rude son should strike his father dead : Nest. And in the imitation of these twain
Force should be right; or, rather, right and wrong, (Whom, as Ulysses says, opinion crowns
(Between whose endless jar justice resides,)

With an imperial voice,) many are infect. Should lose their names, and so should justice too. Ajax is grown self-will’d; and bears his head Then every thing includes itself in power,

In such a rein, in full as proud a place Power into will, will into appetite;

As broad Achilles ; keeps his tent like him; And appetite, an universal wolf,

Makes factious feasts ; rails on our state of war, So doubly seconded with will and power,

Bold as an oracle ; and sets Thersites Must make perforce an universal prey,

To weaken and discredit our exposure, Follows the choking.

When fitness calls them on; and know, by measurə Of his superior, grows to an envious fever

Of their observant toil, the enemies' weight, Of pale and bloodless emulation :

Why, this hath not a finger's dignity : And 'tis this fever that keeps Troy on foot,

They call this — bed-work, mappery, closet-war : Not her own sinews. To end a tale of length, So that the ram, that batters down the wall, Troy in our weakness stands, not in her strength. For the great swing and rudeness of his poize, Nest. Most wisely hath Ulysses here discover'd

They place before his hand that made the engine; The fever whereof all our power is sick.

If that the prais'd himself bring the praise forth : Achilles shall have word of this intent;
But what the repining enemy commends,

So shall each lord of Greece, from tent to tent: That breath fame blows; that praise, sole pure, Yourself shall feast with us before you go, transcends.

What's your affair, I pray you ? Ulyss. I have a young conception in my brain, Ene. Sir, pardon ; 'tis for Agamemnon's ears. Be you my time to bring it to some shape. Ayam. He hears not privately, that comes from Nest. What is't? Troy.

Ulyss. This 'tis : Æne. Nor I from Troy come not to whisper him : Blunt wedges rive hard knots : The seeded pride I bring a trumpet to awake his ear;

That hath to this maturity blown up To set his sense on the attentive bent,

In rank Achilles, must or now be cropp'd, And then to speak.

Or, shedding, breed a nursery of like evil, Agam.

If there be one, among the fair’st of Greece, Pointing on him.
That holds his honour higher than his ease;

Ulyss. And wake him to the answer, think you?
That seeks his praise more than he fears his peril ; Nest.
That knows his valour, and knows not his fear : It is most meet; Whom may you else oppose,
That loves his mistress more than in confession, That can from Hector bring those honours off,
(With truant vows to her own lips he loves,) If not Achilles ? Though't be a sportful combat,
And dare avow her beauty and her worth,

Yet in the trial much opinion dwells;
In other arms than hers — to him this challenge. For here the Trojans taste our dear’st repute

With their fin'st palate: And trust to me, Ulysses, Shall make it good, or do his best to do it,

Our imputation shall be oddly pois d He hath a lady, wiser, fairer, truer,

He, that meets Hector, issues from our choice : And we were better parch in Afriek sun,
And choice, being mutual act of all our souls, Than in the pride and salt scorn of bis eyes,
Makes merit her election; and doth boil,

Should he 'scape Hector fair : If he were foil'd, As 'twere from forth us all, a man distillid

Why, then we did our main opinion crush Out of our virtues; Who miscarrying,

In taint of our best man. No, make a lottery; What heart receives from hence a conquering part, And, by device, let blockish Ajax draw To steel a strong opinion to themselves?

The sort to fight with Hector : Among ourselves, Which entertain'd, limbs are his instruments, Give him allowance for the better man, In no less working, than are swords and bows For that will physick the great Myrmidon, Directive by the limbs.

Who broils in loud applause; and make him fall Ulyss. Give pardon to my speech ;

His crest, that prouder than blue Iris bends.
Therefore 'tis meet, Achilles meet not Hector. If the dull brainless Ajax come safe off,
Let us, like merchants, show our foulest wares, We'll dress him up in voices : If he fail,
And think, perchance, they'll sell ; if not,

Yet go we under our opinion still
The lustre of the better shall exceed,

That we have better men. But, hit or miss, By showing the worse first. Do not consent, Our project's life this shape of sense assumes, – That ever Hector and Achilles meet;

Ajax, employ'd, plucks down Achilles' plumes. For both our honour and our shame, in this,

Nest. Ulysses, Are dogg'd with two strange followers.

Now I begin to relish thy advice ; Nest. I see them not with my old eyes; what are And I will give a taste of it forthwith they?

To Agamemnon: go we to him straight. Ulyss. What glory our Achilles shares from Hector, Two curs shall tame each other ; Pride alone Were he not proud, we all should share with him : Must tarre the mastiffs on, as 'twere their bone. But he already is too insolent;
