Cre. Sir, mine own company. I have a kind of felf refides with you: [wifely. Troi. Well know they what they speak, that speak fo Cre. Perchance, my Lord, I fhew more craft than love, And fell fo roundly to a large confeffion, To angle for your thoughts: but you are wife, Might be affronted with the match and weight Troi. O virtuous fight! True fwains in love fhall in the world to come Want fimilies: truth tired with iteration, + Or elfe As (a) It was heretofore the prevailing opinion that the production and growth of Plants depended much upon the influences of the Moon: and the rules and directions given for fowing, planting, grafting, and pruning, bad reference generally to the changes, the increafe, or waining of the Moon.

Here I hold your hand; here my coufin's; if ever you prove falfe to one another, fince I have taken fuch pains to bring you together, let all pitiful goersbetween be called to the world's end after my name; call them all Pandars: let all inconftant men be Troilus's, all falfe women Creffida's, and all brokers-between Pandars Say Amen. Troi. Amen!. Cre. Amen! Pan. Amen! Whereupon I will fhew you a chamber with a bed; which bed, because it fhall not speak of your pretty encounters, prefs it to death: away. And Cupid grant all tongue-ty'd maidens here, Bed, chamber, Pandar to provide this geer! [Exeunt. SCENE. Enter Agamemnon, Ulyffes, Diomedes, Neftor, Menelaus, and Calchas. Cal. Now, Princes, for the fervice I have done you, Th' advantage of the time prompts me aloud To call for recompence: appear it to you That, through the fight I bear in things to come, I have abandon'd Troy, left my poffeffion, Incurr'd a traitor's name, expos'd my felf, From certain and poffett conveniencies, To doubtful fortunes; fequeftred from all, That time, acquaintance, cuftom, and condition, Made tame and moft familiar to my nature : And here to do you fervice am become As new into the world, ftrange, unacquainted. I do befeech you, as in way of taste, To give me now a little benefit, Out of thofe many regiftred in promife, Which you fay live to come in my behalf. Aga. What wouldst thou of us, Trojan? make demand. Cal. You have a Trojan prifoner, call'd Antenor, Yesterday took: Troy holds him very dear.

Achil. Good morrow. Ajax. Ay, and good next day too. [Exeunt. Achil. What mean thefe fellows? know they not Achilles ? Pat. They pafs by ftrangely: they were us❜d to bend, To fend their fmiles before them to Achilles, To come as humbly as they us'd to creep To holy altars. Achil. What, am I poor of late? 'Tis certain, Greatness once fall'n out with fortune Hath honour, but is honour'd by those honours Which when they fall, as being flipp'ry standers, Save these men's looks, who do methinks find out As they have often giv'n.
