Enter Thersites. Excursions

_Ther_. Now they are clapper-clawing one another; I’ll go look on. That

dissembling abominable varlet, Diomed, has got that same scurvy doting

foolish young knave’s sleeve of Troy there in his helm. I would fain

see them meet, that that same young Troian ass that loves the whore

there might send that Greekish whoremasterly villain with the sleeve

back to the dissembling luxurious drab of a sleeve-less errand. A th’

t’other side, the policy of those crafty swearing rascals-that stale

old mouse-eaten dry cheese, Nestor, and that same dog-fox, Vlyſſes -is

not prov’d worth a blackberry. They set me up, in policy, that mongrel

cur, Aiax, against that dog of as bad a kind, Achilles; and now is the

cur, Aiax prouder than the cur Achilles, and will not arm to-day;

whereupon the Grecians begin to proclaim barbarism, and policy grows

into an ill opinion.
