MENELAUS
Both take and give.
CRESSIDA
I’ll make my match to live,
The kiss you take is better than you give;
Therefore no kiss.
MENELAUS
I’ll give you boot; I’ll give you three for one. [40]
CRESSIDA
You are an odd man; give even, or give none.
MENELAUS
An odd man, lady? Every man is odd.
CRESSIDA
No, Paris is not; for you know ’tis true
That you are odd, and he is even with you.
MENELAUS
You fillip me o’the head.
CRESSIDA
No, I’ll be sworn. [45]
ULYSSES
It were no match, your nail against his horn.
May I, sweet lady, beg a kiss of you?
CRESSIDA
You may.
ULYSSES
I do desire it.
