Possessed he is with greatness, And speaks not to himself but with a pride
That quarrels at self-breath Imagined worth
Holds in his blood such swollen and hot discourse, That 'twixt his mental and his active parts Kingdomed Achilles in commotion rages
And batters against itself Let Ajax go to him.
Dear lord, go you and greet him in his tent 'Tis said he holds you well, and will be led
At your request a little from himself O Agamemnon, let it not be so No, this thrice worthy and right valiant lord
Must not so stale his palm, nobly acquired, As amply titled as Achilles is,
by going to Achilles This lord go to him? Jupiter forbid,
And say in thunder 'Achilles go to him' O, this is well: and rubs the vein of him
- And how his silence drinks up this applause!
