P. 2811
ACHILLES
Who’s there?
PATROCLUS
Thersites, my lord.
ACHILLES
Where, where? − Art thou come? Why, my [40] cheese, my digestion, why
hast thou not erved thyself in to my table, so many meals? Come, what’s
Agamemnon?
THERSITES
Thy commander, Achilles. Then tell me, Patroclus, what’s Achilles?
PATROCLUS
Thy lord, Thersites. Then tell me, I pray thee, [45] what’s thyself?
THERSITES
Thy knower, Patroclus. Then tell me, Patroclus, what art thou?
PATROCLUS
Thou mayst tell that knowest.
ACHILLES
O, tell, tell. [50]
THERSITES
I’ll decline the whole question. Agamemnon commands Achilles, Achilles is
my lord, I am Patroclus’ knower, and Patroclus is a fool.
PATROCLUS
You rascal!
THERSITES
Peace, fool, I have not done. [55]
ACHILLES
