During | all ques/tion of | the gent|le truce:

Our || bloods are | now in | calm; and | so

By Jove,| I'll play | the hunt|er for | thy life,

With his face | backward,| in hu/mane
gent|leness:

Welcome | to Troy;| now by | Anchi|ses' life,
,
, ,

Welcome | indeed:| by Ven|us' hand | I swear,
,
, ,

No man | alive | can love | in such | a sort,

The thing | he means | to kill,| more
ex|cellently.
DIOMEDES

We sym|pathize.| Jove let | Aene|as live

(If to my | sword his | fate be | not the |
glory)
,

A thous|and com/plete cour|ses of | the sun,

PARIS

The nob|lest hate|ful love,| that ere | I heard
of.

What bus|iness lord | so ear|ly?
AENEAS

His pur|pose meets | you; it | was to bring |
this Greek

To Cal|chas' house;| and there | to rend|er him,

Haste there before us.| I const|antly / do think

My broth|er Troi|lus lod|ges there | tonight.

Rouse him,| and give | him note | of our |

With the / whole qual|ity | whereof,| I fear

Even in the | soul of | sound good fel|lowship,

T T ,
Who in | your thoughts | merits fair He|len most?

Myself,| or Me|nela|us?
DIOMEDES

Both | alike.
x

He merits | well to | have her,| that doth | seek
her,
, , , ,
2 ,
Not* mak|ing an|y scru|ple of her | soilure,
,
, , ,
,
With such | a hell | of pain,| and world | of
charge.
, ,
, , 2
,
And you | as well | to keep | her, that de|fend
her,
, , 2
, ,
,
Not pa/lating the | taste of | her dis|honor,
,
, , ,
,
With such | a cos|tly loss | of wealth | and
friends:
,
, , ,
,
He like | a pu|ling cuck|old, would / drink up
, ,
, , ,
The lees | and dregs | of a / flat ta|med piece:
T T . T
, ,
,
You like a le|cher, out | of who|rish loins,
,
, ,

Are pleased | to breed | out your | inhe|ritors:
T Tx
T , ,
,
Both merits poised,| each^weighs | nor less | nor
more,

But he | as he,| the heav|ier for | a whore.
PARIS

You are | too bitter / to your | country|woman.
DIOMEDES
x ,
, ,
,
She's bitter | to her | country:| hear me |
Paris,
, ,
, ,
,
For eve|ry false | drop in | her baw|dy veins,
, ,
, ,
, 2->
A Gre|cian's life | hath sunk:| for eve|ry
scru||ple

Of her | contam|ina|ted car|rion weight,

A Tro|yan hath | been slain.| Since she | could
speak,
, x

T
She hath / not given | so many | good words
breath,
,

As for | her, Greeks | and Troy|ans suf|fered
death.
PARIS

, ,
Fair* Di|omed,| you do | as chap|men* do,
, ,
, ,
,
Dispraise | the thing | that you | desire | to
buy:
,
, ,
, ,
But we | in sil|ence hold | this vir|tue well;
,
, , ,
,
We'll^but | commend,| what we | intend | to sell.
