You know a sword employed. 151 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.679 It's perilous, and reason flies the object of our harm? 152 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:45.000 Who marvels? Then? When Helenus beholds a Grecian and his sword, 153 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.639 if he do set the very wings of reason to 154 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.440 his heels and fly like chitten mercury from Jove, or 155 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:56.120 like a star disorbed. Nay, if we talk of reason, 156 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.759 let's shut our gates and sleep. Man Hood and honor 157 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:04.399 should have heir hearts? Would they but fat their thoughts? 158 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:09.320 This crammed reason, reason and respect make livers pale, and 159 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:12.120 lust her deject brother. 160 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.039 She is not worth what she doth cost, the. 161 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.919 Keeping what's aught, but as is valued. 162 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.919 But value dwells not in particular will it holds his 163 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.480 estimate and dignity as well. Wherein tis precious of itself, 164 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.919 as in the prizer tis mader dolatry to make the 165 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.759 surface greater than the God, and the will doubt that 166 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:37.799 is attributive to what infectiously itself affects, without some image 167 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.240 of the affected merit. 168 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.919 I take to day a wife, and my election is 169 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.840 led on in the conduct of my will. My will 170 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.200 enkindled by mine eyes and ears, two traded pilots TwixT 171 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.799 the dangerous shores of will and judgment. How may I avoid, 172 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.519 although my will distaste what elected the wife I chose, 173 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.879 there can be no evasion to blench from this, and 174 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.159 to stand firm by honor. We turn not back the 175 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:12.559 silks upon the merchant when we have soiled them, nor 176 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.399 the remainder viands. We do not throw an unrespective sieve, 177 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:21.080 because we now are full. It was thought meet Paris 178 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.720 should do some vengeance on the Greeks. Your breath with 179 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:30.200 full consent, bellied his sails, the seas and winds old 180 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:34.600 wranglers took a truce and did him service. He touched 181 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.279 the ports desired, and for an old aunt, whom the 182 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:42.000 Greeks held captive, he brought a Grecian queen, whose youth 183 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:48.879 and freshness wrinkles Apollos and make stale the morning. Why 184 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:53.279 keep we here the Grecians keep our ant? Is she 185 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:58.360 worth keeping? Why she is a pearl whose prize hath 186 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.720 launched above a thousand ships and turned crowned kings to merchants. 187 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.840 If you'll have vouch twas wisdom, Paris went, as you 188 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:12.559 must needs for you, all cried, go go. If you'll 189 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:17.120 confess he brought home worthy prize, as you must needs 190 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:21.320 for you, I'll clap your hands and cried inestimable. Why 191 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.159 do you now the issue of your proper wisdom's rate 192 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.639 and do a deed that never fortune did beggar the 193 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.320 estimation which you prized richer than sea and land O 194 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.399 leftmost base that we have stolen what we do fear 195 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.679 to keep. But thieves unworthy of a thing so stolen 196 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.759 that in their country did them that disgrace. We fear 197 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:52.600 to warrant in our native place. Cassandra within, cry, Troys, cry. 198 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.240 What noise, what shriek? 199 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.799 Is? This tis a mad sister? I do you know 200 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.399 her voice? 201 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.799 Cry troyus it is Cassandra. 202 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:15.720 Enter, Cassandra raving, Cry Troyans, cry, lend me ten thousand eyes, 203 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.519 and I will fill them with prophetic tears. 204 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:22.879 Peace, sister, Peace. 205 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:29.679 Virgins and boys, mid age and wrinkled old soft infancy. 206 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:36.000 That nothing canst but cry add to my clamors. Let 207 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:40.759 us pay betimes a moiety of that mass of moan 208 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:49.039 to come, cry, Troyans, cry, practice your eyes with tears. 209 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:56.519 Troy must not be nor goodly illien stand how our 210 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.559 fire brandt brother peris. 211 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:10.639 As all cry Troyan's cry a helen and a row cry, 212 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:18.519 cry Troy burns, or else let Helen go. 213 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:25.720 Exit now, youthful Troylis, do not these high strains of 214 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:30.120 divination and our sister work some touches of remorse? Or 215 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.799 is your blood so madly heart that no discourse of 216 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:36.559 reason nor fear of bad success in a bad cause 217 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:37.879 can qualify the same. 218 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.840 Why, brother hector, we may not think the justness of 219 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.440 each act such and no other than aveng doth form it. 220 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.639 No ones deject the courage of our minds. Because Cassandra 221 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.759 is mad, her brainsick raptures cannot distaste the goodness of 222 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.200 a quarrel which hath our several honors, all engaged to 223 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.840 make it great. For my private part, I am no 224 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.600 more touched than our prime sons, And Jove forbid there 225 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.440 should be done amongst us such things as might offend 226 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.120 the weakest spleen to fight for and maintain. 227 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.759 Else might the world convince of levity as well my 228 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:23.679 undertakings as your counsels. But I attest the gods. You 229 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:28.120 awful consent gave wings to my propensions, and cut off 230 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.840 all fears, attending on so dire a project. For what 231 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:37.559 alas can these my single arms? What propagnation is in 232 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.639 one man's valor to stand the push and enmity of 233 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:46.679 those this quarrel would excite. Yet I protest, were I 234 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.840 alone to pass the difficulties, and had as ample power 235 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.919 as I have, will Paris should ne'er retract what he 236 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.919 hath done, nor faint in the pursuit. 237 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.559 Perish you speak like one is sootted on your sweet delights. 238 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:08.039 You have the honey still, But this the gall so 239 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.319 to be valiant is no praise at all. 240 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:17.680 Sir, I propose not merely to myself the pleasure such 241 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.640 a beauty brings with it, but I would have the 242 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:24.799 soil of her fair rape white off in honorable keeping her. 243 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.480 What treason were it to the ransacked queen, disgrace to 244 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.279 your great words, and shame to me now to deliver 245 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.119 her possession upon terms of base compulsion? Can it be 246 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.519 the so degenerate astrain as this should once set footing 247 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.640 in your generous bosoms. This is not the meanest spirit 248 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.000 on our party, without a heart to dare or sword 249 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.240 to draw when Helen is defended, nor none so noble 250 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:57.680 whose life were ill bestowed or death unfeigned. Where Helen's 251 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.839 the subject, then I say, well, may we fight for her, 252 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:08.519 whom we know well? The world's large spaces cannot parallel. 253 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.160 Paris and Troylis. You have both said well, and on 254 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.480 the cause and question now in hand have glassed, but 255 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:20.519 superficially not much. Unlike young men whom Aristotle thought unfit 256 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:25.039 to hear moral philosophy, the reasons you alleged do more 257 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:28.799 conduce to the hot passion of distempered blood. Than to 258 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:32.720 make up a free determination TwixT right and wrong for 259 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.559 pleasure and revenge. Have ears more deaf than adders to 260 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.039 the voice of any true decision. Nature craves all dues 261 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:46.160 be rendered to their owners. Now what nearer debt in 262 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.759 all humanity than wife is to the husband. If this 263 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:54.400 law of nature be corrupted through affection, and that great 264 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:59.480 minds of partial indulgence, to their benumbed wills, resist the same. 265 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.039 Where is a law in each well ordered nation to 266 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.960 curb these raging appetites that are most disobedient and refractory. 267 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.319 If Helen then be wife to Sparta's king, as it 268 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.799 is known she is, these moral laws of nature and 269 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:20.359 of nations speak aloud to have her back returned. Thus 270 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.839 to persist in doing wrong extenuates not wrong, but makes 271 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:29.240 it much more heavy. Hector's opinion is this in way 272 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:34.440 of truth? Yet ne'ertheless, my sprightly brethren. I propend to 273 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.720 you in resolution to keep Helen still, for 'tis a 274 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.839 cause that hath no mean dependence upon our joint and 275 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.039 several dignities. 276 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:48.759 Why there you touched the life of our design? Were 277 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.759 it not glory that we more affected than the performance 278 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.920 of our heaving spleens, I would not wish a drop 279 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.279 of troy and blood spent more in her defense. But 280 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.240 worthy Hector, she is a theme of honor and renown, 281 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.559 a spurt of valiant and magnanimous deeds, whose present courage 282 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:09.799 may beat down our foes and fame in time to 283 00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:14.359 come canonize us. For I presume brave Hector will not 284 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.039 lose the rich advantage of her promised glory. As smiles 285 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.000 upon the forehead of this action for the wide world's revenue, I. 286 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:27.960 Am yours you, valiant offspring of great Priamus. I have 287 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.480 a roasting challenge set amongst the dull and factious nobles 288 00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:34.519 of the Greeks, will strike amazement to their drowsy spirits. 289 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.799 I was advertised their great General slept whilst emulation in 290 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.279 the army crept. This I presume will wake him. 291 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:49.680 Exillant Scene three, the Grecian camp before the tent of Achilles, 292 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.200 enter societes soulis. 293 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.640 How now fair sightes what lost in the labyrinth of 294 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:04.559 thy fury? Shall the elephant Ajax carry it? Thus he 295 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:10.400 beats me, and I rail at him o worthy satisfaction. 296 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.359 Would it were otherwise that I could beat him whilst 297 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:20.319 he railed at me ha ha ha Ha's foot. I'll 298 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.359 learned to conjure and raised devils. But I'll see some 299 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:30.119 issue of my spiteful execrations. Then there's Achilles, a rare engineer. 300 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.720 If Troy be not taken till these two undermine it, 301 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:39.119 the walls will stand till they fall of themselves. Oh, 302 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:44.799 thou great thunder darter of Olympus, forget that thou art jove, 303 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:49.640 the king of gods and mercury, lose all the serpentine 304 00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:54.640 craft of thy Cadusius, if ye take not that little, little, 305 00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:57.960 less than little wit from them that they have, which 306 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:04.559 short armed ignorance itself knows is so abundant scarce, it 307 00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.279 will not, in circumvention deliver a fly from a spider 308 00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.440 without drawing their massy irons and cutting the web. After 309 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:16.559 this the vengeance on the whole camp, or rather the 310 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.440 Neapolitan bone ache let me thinks it's the curse depending 311 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:24.000 on those that war for a plaquet. I have said 312 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:28.079 my prayers and devil envy, saying, men, where how my 313 00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:29.960 lord Achilles. 314 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.880 And Patroclus, who's there? 315 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.400 Torcieties? Good societies come in and rail. 316 00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:42.519 If I could remember the guilt counterfeit, Thou wouldst not 317 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.759 have slipped out of my contemplation. But it is no 318 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.279 matter thyself upon thyself the common curse of mankind, folly 319 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:55.839 and ignorance, be thine in great revenue. Heaven bless thee 320 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.640 from a tutor and discipline come not near thee. Let 321 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.079 thy let be thy direction till thy death. Then if 322 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.319 she that lays the out says thou art a fair course, 323 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:09.279 I'll be sworn and sworn apart it. She never shrouded 324 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:13.559 any but lasars? Amen, where's Achilles? 325 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:16.440 What art thou devote? 326 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:20.799 Was star in prayer? Aye the heavens hear me? 327 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:26.680 Amen, enter Achilles? Who's there? 328 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:28.759 Societies? My lord? 329 00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:30.279 Where?

So 332 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:41.880 many meals come? 333 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:49.480 What's agamemnon, thy commander? Achilles? Then tell me Petroclus, what Achilles? 334 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:57.279 Thy lord? Societies? Then tell me, I pray thee? What's societies? 335 00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:02.519 I know are? Petruclus? Then tell me Petruclus what art thou? 336 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.559 Thou must tell that? 337 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:12.160 Noest, oh tell tell I'll decline the whole question Agamemnon 338 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:17.759 commands Achilles.

Achilles is a fool to be commanded of Agamemnon. 346 00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.599 Versieite is a fool to serve such a fool, And 347 00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:02.720 this Petruclis is a fool. Positive, Why am I a fool? 348 00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:08.799 Make that demand of the creator.

But why why let 371 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.960 him show us a cause? Per word? My lord takes 372 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.640 Agamemnon aside. 373 00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.839 What moves Ajx does to bey at him? 374 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.519 Achilles hath inveigled his fool from him. 375 00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:56.920 Who his sights here in? Who will Ajax lack matter 376 00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:59.200 if he have lost his argument? 377 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.480 No, you see he is his argument that has his argument, 378 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.200 Achilles all the better. 379 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:12.119 Their fraction is more our wish than their affection. But 380 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.119 it was a strong composure. A fool could disunite. 381 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:20.359 The amity that wisdom. It's not folly may easily untie 382 00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:27.960 re enter Patroclus. Here comes Beetroclus. No Achilles with him 383 00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:32.039 the elephant hath joins, but none for courtesy. His legs 384 00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.519 are legs for necessity, not for flexture. 385 00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:39.200 Achilles bids me say, he is much sorry if anything 386 00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:42.880 more than your sport and pleasure did move your greatness 387 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.960 and this noble state to call upon him. He hopes 388 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.559 it is no other but for your health and your 389 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.160 digestion's sake. And after dinner's breath. 390 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:58.279 Hear you, Patroclus. We are too well acquainted with these answers. 391 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:03.880 But his ev Asian winged thus swift with scorn, cannot 392 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:09.880 outfly our apprehensions. Much attribute he hath, and much the 393 00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:14.400 reason why we ascribe it to him. Yet all his virtues, 394 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:18.880 not virtuously on his own part beheld, do in our 395 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:23.960 eyes begin to lose their gloss. Yea like fair fruit 396 00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:28.960 in an unwholesome dish, are like to rot untasted. Go 397 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:31.720 and tell him we come to speak with him, and 398 00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:35.319 you shall not sin if you do. Say we think 399 00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:40.839 him over proud and under honest in self assumption, greater 400 00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.400 than in the note of judgment, and worthier than himself. 401 00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.839
