Nest, And very courtly counsel: I'll begin. So much for Nestor.

Achil. I'll take that winter from your lips, fair Lady:

Achilles bids you welcome.

Men. I had good argument for kissing once. Patr. But that's no argument for kissing now: For thus popp'd Paris in his hardiment; And parted thus you and your argument.

Men. An odd man, Lady? every man is odd. Cres. No, Paris is not; for, you know, 'tis true,

That you are odd, and he is even with you.
Men. You fillip me o'the head. 44

Cres. No, I'll be sworn.

Ulyss. It were no match, your nail against his horn.

May I, sweet Lady, beg a kiss of you?

Cres. You may.

Ulyss. I do desire it.

Cres. Why, beg then.

Ulyss. Why then, for Venus' sake, give me kiss,

When Helen is a maid again, and his.

Cres. I am your debtor, claim it when 'tis due. Ulyss. Never's my day, and then a kiss of you. Dio. Lady, a word; I'll bring you to your father.

The one almost as infinite as all,
The other blank as nothing. Weigh him well,
And that, which looks like pride, is courtesy.

Half heart, half hand, half Hector comes
