Ajax. A paltry insolent fellow,-
Neft. How he describes himself !

[Afide. Ajax, Can he not be sociable? Ulys. The raven chides blackness.

[Aside. Ajax. I'll let his humours blood. Aga. He will be the physician, that should be the patient.

[Aside. Ajax. An all men were o' my mind, Ulyl. Wit would be out of fashion.

[Aside, Ajax. He should not bear it so, He should eat swords first : Shall pride carry it? Neft. An 'twould, you'd carry half,

[Afide. Ulyl. He would have ten shares,

[Afide. Pour in, pour in; his ambition is dry. Ulyf. My lord, you feed too much on this dislike.

Praise him that got thee, she that gave thee fuck ;

But he that disciplin'd thy arms to fight,
Let Mars divide eternity in twain,
And give him half: and, for thy vigor,
Bull-bearing Milo his ' addition yield
To sinewy Ajax. I will not praise thy wisdom,
Which, like a ? bourn, a pale, a shore, confines
Thy spacious and dilated parts: Here's Nestor--
Instructed by the antiquary times,
He must, he is, he cannot but be wise ;
But pardon, father Neftor, were your days
As green as Ajax, and your brain so temper’d,
You should not have the eminence of him,
But be as Ajax.

Ajax. Shall I call you father?
Neft. Ay, my good son.

Dio. Be ruld by him, lord Ajax.

Uly. There is no tarrying here; the hart Achilles
Keeps thicket. Please it our great general
To call together all his state of war;
Fresh kings are come to Troy : To-morrow,
We must with all our main of power stand fast :
And here's a lord,-come knights from east to west,
And cull their flower, Ajax shall cope the best.

Aga. Go we to council. Let Achilles Neep:
Light boats fail swift, though greater hulks draw deep.
