THERSITES。 I serve thee not。 AJAX。 Well�察�go to�察�go to。 THERSITES。 I 

serve here voluntary。 ACHILLES。 Your last service was suff'rance�察�'twas 

not voluntary。 No   man is beaten voluntary。 Ajax was here the voluntary�察�

                    SCENE 2。 Troy。 PRIAM'S palace 



     Enter PRIAM�察�HECTOR�察�TROILUS�察�PARIS�察�and HELENUS 

       PRIAM。 After so many hours�察�lives�察�speeches�察�spent�察�Thus once again 

says   Nestor   from   the   Greeks�此  �'Deliver   Helen�察  �and   all   damage   else´   As 

honour�察�loss of time�察�travail�察�expense�察�Wounds�察�friends�察�and what else dear 

that   is   consum'd   In   hot   digestion   of  this   cormorant   war´   Shall   be   struck 

off。' Hector�察�what say you to't�拭�HECTOR。 Though no man lesser fears the 

Greeks than I�察�As far as toucheth my particular�察�Yet�察�dread Priam�察�There is 

no lady of more softer bowels�察�More spongy to suck in the sense of fear�察�

More   ready   to   cry   out   'Who   knows   what   follows��'   Than   Hector   is。   The 

wound   of   peace   is   surety�察  �Surety  secure�察  �but   modest   doubt   is   call'd The 

beacon of the wise�察�the tent that searches To th' bottom of the worst。 Let 

Helen go。 Since the first sword was drawn about this question�察�Every tithe 

soul 'mongst many thousand dismes Hath been as dear as Helen´I mean�察�of 

ours。 If we have lost so many tenths of ours To guard a thing not ours�察�nor 

worth to us�察�Had it our name�察�the value of one ten�察�What merit's in that 

reason   which   denies   The   yielding   of   her   up�拭  �TROILUS。   Fie�察  �fie�察  �my 

brother� �Weigh you the worth and honour of a king�察�So great as our dread 

father's�察�in a scale Of common ounces�拭�Will you with counters sum The 

past´proportion of his infinite�察�And buckle in a waist most fathomless With 

spans and inches so diminutive As fears and reasons�拭�Fie�察�for godly shame� �

HELENUS。   No   marvel   though   you   bite   so   sharp   at   reasons�察�You   are   so 

empty  of   them。   Should not our   father   Bear   the great   sway  of   his   affairs 

with reasons�察�Because your speech hath none that tells him so�拭�TROILUS。 

You are for dreams and slumbers�察�brother priest�察�You fur your gloves with 

reason。 Here are your reasons�此�You know an enemy intends you harm�察�You 

know a sword employ'd is perilous�察�And reason flies the object of all harm。 

Who marvels�察�then�察�when Helenus beholds A Grecian and his sword�察�if he 

do set The very wings of reason to his heels And fly like chidden Mercury 

from Jove�察�Or like a star disorb'd�拭�Nay�察�if we talk of reason�察�Let's shut our 

gates and sleep。 Manhood and honour Should have hare hearts�察�would they 

but fat their thoughts With this cramm'd reason。 Reason and respect Make 

livers pale and lustihood deject。 HECTOR。 Brother�察�she is not worth what

she  doth�察  �cost   The  keeping。  TROILUS。   What's   aught   but   as   'tis   valued�拭�

HECTOR。 But value dwells not in particular will�此�It holds his estimate and 

dignity As   well   wherein   'tis   precious   of   itself As   in   the  prizer。   'Tis   mad 

idolatry To make the service greater than the god´I And the will dotes that 

is attributive To what infectiously itself affects�察�Without some image of th' 

affected merit。 TROILUS。 I take to´day a wife�察�and my election Is led on 

in the conduct of my will�察�My will enkindled by mine eyes and ears�察�Two 

traded pilots 'twixt the dangerous shores Of will and judgment�此�how may I 

avoid�察�Although my will distaste what it elected�察�The wife I chose�拭�There 

can be no evasion To blench from this and to stand firm by honour。 We 

turn not back the silks upon the merchant When we have soil'd them�察�nor 

the remainder viands We do not throw in unrespective sieve�察�Because we 

now are full。 It was thought meet Paris should do some vengeance on the 

Greeks�察�Your breath with full consent benied his sails�察�The seas and winds�察�

old   wranglers�察  �took   a   truce�察 �And   did   him   service。   He   touch'd   the   ports 

desir'd�察�And for an old aunt whom the Greeks held captive He brought a 

Grecian queen�察�whose youth and freshness Wrinkles Apollo's�察�and makes 

stale the morning。 Why keep we her�拭�The Grecians keep our aunt。 Is she 

worth   keeping�拭  �Why�察  �she   is   a   pearl   Whose   price   hath   launch'd   above   a 

thousand   ships�察�And   turn'd   crown'd   kings to   merchants。  If   you'll   avouch 

'twas wisdom Paris went´ As you must needs�察�for you all cried 'Go�察�go'´ If 

you'll confess he brought home worthy prize´ As you must needs�察�for you 

all   clapp'd   your   hands�察  �And   cried   'Inestimable��'   ´why   do   you   now   The 

issue of your proper wisdoms rate�察�And do a deed that never fortune did´ 

Beggar the estimation which you priz'd Richer than sea and land�拭�O theft 

most   base�察  �That   we   have   stol'n   what   we   do   fear   to   keep�   �But   thieves 

unworthy of a thing so stol'n That in their country did them that disgrace 

We   fear   to   warrant   in   our   native   place�   �CASSANDRA。   ��Within�А  �Cry�察�

Troyans�察�cry。 PRIAM。 What noise�察�what shriek is this�拭�TROILUS。 'Tis our 

mad sister�察  �I do know  her voice。  CASSANDRA。  ��Within�А �Cry�察�Troyans。 

HECTOR。 It is Cassandra。 

       Enter CASSANDRA�察�raving 

       CASSANDRA。 Cry�察�Troyans�察�cry。 Lend me ten thousand eyes�察�And I 

will    fill  them   with    prophetic    tears。   HECTOR。        Peace�察   �sister�察 �peace。

Because      Cassandra's     mad。    Her   brain´sick    raptures    Cannot     distaste   the 

goodness of a quarrel Which hath our several honours all engag'd To make

And   Jove   forbid   there should be   done  amongst us   Such   things   as   might 

offend the weakest spleen To fight for and maintain。 PARIS。 Else   might 

the world convince   of levity As   well my undertakings   as your   counsels�察�
