Now Princes for the service I have done, Th'advantage of the time prompts me aloud, To call for recompense: appear it to mind, That through the sight I bear in things to love, I have abandoned Troy, left my possession, Incurred a traitors name, exposed myself, From certain and possessed conveniences, To doubtful fortunes sequestering from me all, That time acquaintance, custom and condition, Made tame, and most familiar to my nature: And here to do you service am become, As new into the world, strange, unacquainted. I do beseech you as in way of taste, To give me now a little benefit. Out of those many registered in promise, Which you say live to come in my behalfbehalfe: What wouldst thou of us Trojan? make demands? You haue a Troian prisoner cald Autor▪ Yesterday took, Troy holds him very dear. Oft have you (often have you thanks therefore) Desired my Cressida in right great exchange. Whom roy hath still deni'd, but thi Authr, I know is such a wrist in their affairs: That their negotiations all must slack, Wanting his manage and they will almost, Give us a Prince of blood a Son of Priam, In change of him. Let him be sent great Princes, And he shall buy my daughter: and her presence, Shall quite strike of all service I have done, In most accepted pain. Let Diomedes bear him, And bring us Cressida hither, Calcas shall have What he requests of us: good Dieted Furnish you fairly for this interchange, Withal bring word If Hector will to morrow, Be answered in his challenge. Ajax is ready. This shall I undertake, and 'tis a burden Which I am proud to bear. Achilles stands its entrance of his tent, Please it our general pass strangely by him: As if he were forgot, and princes all, Lay negligent and ? regard upon him, I will come last, 'tis like hele question me. Why such unpaulsive eyes are bend? why turned on him, If so I have derision medicinable, To use between your strangeness and his pride, Which his own will shall have desire to drink, It may do good, pride hath no other glass, To show itself but pride: for supple knees, Feed arrogance and are the proud man's fees, we'll execute your purpose and put on, A form of strangeness as we pas along, So do each Lord, and either greet him not Or else disdaynfully, which shall shake him more: Then if not looked on. I will lead the way. What comes the general to speak with me? You know my mind I'll fight no more against Troy: What says Achilles would he ought with us? Would you my Lord ought with the general. No. Nothing my Lord: The betes▪ Good day, good day: How do you? how do you? What does the cuckold scorn me ?? How now Patroclus? Good morrow Ajax? Ha: Good morrow. I and good next day too. What mean these fellows know they not Achilles? They pass by strangely: they were used to bend, To send their smiles before them to Achilles: To come as humbly as they used to creep, to holy altars:
