ssida? _Pand._ Why, I made your excuse to your brother Paris; that I think's to Cressida:--but such an arm, such a hand, such taper fingers! t'other hand was under the bed-cloaths; that I saw not, I confess; that hand I saw not. _Troil._ Again thou torturest me. _Pand._ Nay, I was tortured too; old as I am, I was tortured too: but for all that, I could make a shift, to make him, to make your excuse, to make your father--by Jove, when I think of that hand, I am so ravished, that I know not what I say: I was tortured too. [TROILUS _turns away discontented._ Well, I go, I go; I fetch her, I bring her, I conduct her; not come quotha, and I her uncle! [_Exit_ PANDARUS. _Troil._ I'm giddy; expectation whirls me round: The imaginary relish is so sweet, That it enchants my sense; what will it be, When I shall taste that nectar? It must be either death, or joy too fine For the capacity of human powers. I fear it much: and I do fear beside, That I shall lose distinction in my joys; As does a battle, when they charge on heaps A flying enemy. _Re-enter_ PANDARUS. _Pand._ She's making her ready; she'll come strait: you must be witty now!--she does so blush, and fetches her breath so short, as if she were frighted with a sprite; 'tis the prettiest villain! she fetches her breath so short, as 'twere a new-ta'en sparrow. _Troil._ Just such a passion does heave up my breast!

[_Exeunt._ SCENE III.--_The Camp._ _Enter_ NESTOR, _and_ ULYSSES. _Ulys._ I have conceived an embryo in my brain: Be you my time to bring it to some shape. _Nest._ What is't, Ulysses? _Ulys._ The seeded pride, That has to this maturity blown up In rank Achilles, must or now be cropped, Or, shedding, breed a nursery of like ill, To overtop us all. _Nest._ That's my opinion. _Ulys._ This challenge which AEneas brings from Hector, However it be spread in general terms, Relates in purpose only to Achilles. And will it wake him to the answer, think you? _Nest._ It ought to do: whom can we else oppose, Who could from Hector bring his honour off, If not Achilles? the success of this, Although particular, will give an omen Of good or bad, even to the general cause. _Ulys._ P
