_Ulyss._ What glory our Achilles shares from Hector,[1250] Were he not proud, we all should share with him:[1251] But he already is too insolent; And we were better parch in Afric sun[1252] 370 Than in the pride and salt scorn of his eyes, Should he 'scape Hector fair: if he were foil'd,[1253] Why then, we did our main opinion crush[1254] In taint of our best man. No, make a lottery; And by device let blockish Ajax draw[1255] 375 The sort to fight with Hector: among ourselves[1256] Give him allowance for the better man;[1257] For that will physic the great Myrmidon Who broils in loud applause, and make him fall His crest that prouder than blue Iris bends. 380 If the dull brainless Ajax come safe off, We'll dress him up in voices: if he fail, Yet go we under our opinion still That we have better men. But, hit or miss, Our project's life this shape of sense assumes, 385 Ajax employ'd plucks down Achilles' plumes. _Nest._ Ulysses,[1258] Now I begin to relish thy advice;[1258][1259] And I will give a taste of it forthwith[1260] To Agamemnon: go we to him straight. 390 Two curs shall tame each other: pride alone Must tarre the mastiffs on, as 'twere their bone.[1261] [_Exeunt._ FOOTNOTES: [936] Troy.
