SCENE XIII. Enter Thersites, Menelaus and Paris.

Ther.

The cuckold, and the cuckold-maker are at it: now bull, now dog; 'loo, Paris, 'loo; now my double-hen'd g notesparrow; 'loo, Paris, 'loo; the bull has the game: 'ware horns, ho.

[Ex. Paris and Menelaus. Enter Bastard.

Bast.

Turn, slave, and fight.

Ther.

What art thou?

Bast.

A bastard son of Priam's.

Ther.

I am a bastard too, I love bastards. I am a bastard begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard in valour, in every thing 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: farewel bastard.

Bast.

The devil take thee coward.

[Exeunt.
