SCENE VII. Another part of the plains.
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,
5     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
Enter MENELAUS and PARIS, fighting: then THERSITES
THERSITES
      The cuckold and the cuckold-maker are at it. Now,
10    bull! now, dog! 'Loo, Paris, 'loo! now my double-
      henned sparrow! 'loo, Paris, 'loo! The bull has the
      game: ware horns, ho!
Exeunt PARIS and MENELAUS
Enter MARGARELON
MARGARELON
      Turn, slave, and fight.
THERSITES
      What art thou?
MARGARELON
15    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?
20    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!
