SCENE VIII.
The Same.
Enter Menelaus and Paris, fighting: then Thersites.
Ther.
The cuckold, and the cuckold-maker are
at it: Now, bull! now, dog! 'Loo, Paris, 'loo!
-- 440 --
now my double-henned sparrow! 'loo, Paris, 'loo!
The bull has the game:—'ware horns, ho!
[Exeunt Paris and Menelaus.
Enter Margarelon.
Mar.
Turn, slave, and fight.
Ther.
What art thou?
Mar.
A bastard son of Priam's5 note
.
Ther.
I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am
a bastard begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind,
bastard in valour, in everything illegitimate. One
bear will not bite another, and wherefore should one
bastard? Take heed, the quarrel's most ominous to
us: if the son of a whore fight for a whore, he
tempts judgment: Farewell, bastard.
Mar.
The devil take thee, coward!
