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! 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?
-- 132 --
Mar.
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.
Farewell, bastard.
Mar.
The devil take thee, coward!
