PANDARUS

          Why, you know ’tis dimpled − I think his smiling becomes him better than any
          man in all Phrygia.



              CRESSIDA
          O, he smiles valiantly. [125]



              PANDARUS
          Does he not?



              CRESSIDA
          O, yes, an ’twere a cloud in autumn.



              PANDARUS

          Why, go to, then: but to prove to you that Helen loves Troilus −


              CRESSIDA

          Troilus will stand to the proof, if you’ll prove it so. [130]



              PANDARUS
          Troilus? Why, he esteems her no more than I esteem an addle egg.



              CRESSIDA
          If  you  love  an  addle  egg  as  well  as  you  love  an  idle  head  you  would  eat
          chickens i’th’shell. [135]



              PANDARUS
          I cannot choose but laugh, to think how she tickled his chin − indeed, she has
          a marvellous white hand, I must needs confess −



              CRESSIDA

          Without the rack.


              PANDARUS

          And she takes upon her to spy a white hair on [140] his chin.
