ACT II IT

Scene I IT

Enter Ajax and Thersites.

AJAX
Thersites −

THERSITES
Agamemnon − how if he had boils, full, all over, generally?

AJAX
Thersites −

THERSITES
And those boils did run? − say so − did not the [5] general run then? Were

AJAX

THERSITES

AJAX

He strikes him.

THERSITES
The plague of Greece upon thee, thou mongrel beef-witted lord!
