ACT V IT
Scene I IT
Enter Achilles and Patroclus.
ACHILLES
I’ll heat his blood with Greekish wine tonight,
Which with my scimitar I’ll cool tomorrow.
Patroclus, let us feast him to the height.
PATROCLUS
Here comes Thersites.
Enter Thersites.
ACHILLES
How now, thou core of envy?
Thou crusty botch of nature, what’s the news? [5]
THERSITES
Why, thou picture of what thou seemest, and idol of idiot-worshippers, here’s
a letter for thee.
ACHILLES
From whence, fragment?
THERSITES
Why, thou full dish of fool, from Troy.
Achilles stands aside to read his letter.
PATROCLUS
Who keeps the tent now? [10]
