Cal.
Now, Princes, for the service I have done you,
Th' advantage of the time prompts me aloud
To call for recompence. ^{5 note}

That, ^{6 note}

Incurr'd a traitor's name, expos'd myself,
From certain and possest conveniences,
To doubtful fortunes; sequestring from me all
That time, acquaintance, custom, and condition,
Made tame and most familiar to my nature,
And here, to do you service, am become
As new into the world, strange, unacquainted.
I do beseech you, as in way of taste,
To give me now a little benefit,
Out of those many registred in promise,
Which, you say, live to come in my behalf.

Aga.
What wouldst thou of us, Trojan? make demand.

Cal.
You have a Trojan prisoner, call'd Antenor,
Yesterday took: Troy holds him very dear.
Oft have you, often have you thanks therefore,
Desir'd my Cressid in right-great exchange,
Whom Troy hath still deny'd; but this Antenor,
I know, is such a wrest in their affairs,
That their negotiations all must slack,
Wanting his manage, and they will almost
Give us a Prince o' th' blood, a son of Priam,
In change of him. Let him be sent, great Princes,
And he shall buy my daughter, and her presence
Shall quite strike off all service I have done,
^{7 note}

Aga.
Let Diomedes bear him,
And bring us Cressid hither; Calchas shall have
What he requests of us. Good Diomede,
Furnish you fairly for this enterchange;
Withal, bring word, if Hector will to-morrow
Be answer'd in his challenge. Ajax is ready.

Dio.
This shall I undertake, and 'tis a burden
Which I am proud to bear.
