_Ulyss._ 'Tis he, I ken the manner of his gait; He rises on the toe: that spirit of his[2005] 15 In aspiration lifts him from the earth. _Enter_ DIOMEDES, _with_ CRESSIDA.[2006] _Agam._ Is this the Lady Cressid?[2007] _Dio._ Even she. _Agam._ Most dearly welcome to the Greeks, sweet lady.[2008][2009] Nest. Our general doth salute you with a kiss.[2010] _Ulyss._ Yet is the kindness but particular;[2010][2011][2012] 20 'Twere better she were kiss'd in general.[2010][2011] _Nest._ And very courtly counsel: I'll begin.[2010][2011] So much for Nestor.[2009][2011] _Achil._ I'll take that winter from your lips, fair lady:[2013] Achilles bids you welcome.[2009] 25 _Men._ I had good argument for kissing once. _Patr._ But that's no argument for kissing now; For thus popp'd Paris in his hardiment,[2014] And parted thus you and your argument.[2009][2015] _Ulyss._ O deadly gall, and theme of all our scorns! 30 For which we lose our heads to gild his horns. _Patr._ The first was Menelaus' kiss; this, mine: Patroclus kisses you.[2016] _Men._ O, this is trim! _Patr._ Paris and I kiss evermore for him. _Men._ I 'll have my kiss, sir. Lady, by your leave. 35 _Cres._ In kissing, do you render or receive?[2017] _Patr._ Both take and give. _Cres._ I'll make my match to live,[2018] The kiss you take is better than you give;[2019] Therefore no kiss.[2019] _Men._ I'll give you boot, I'll give you three for one. 40 _Cres._ You're an odd man; give even, or give none.[2020] _Men._ An odd man, lady! every man is odd. _Cres._ No, Paris is not; for, you know, 'tis true, That you are odd, and he is even with you. _Men._ You fillip me o' the head.[2021] _Cres._ No, I'll be sworn. 45 _Ulyss._ It were no match, your nail against his horn. May I, sweet lady, beg a kiss of you? _Cres._ You may. _Ulyss._ I do desire it. _Cres._ Why, beg then.[2022] _Ulyss._ Why then, for Venus' sake, give me a kiss, When Helen is a maid again, and his.[2023] 50 _Cres._ I am your debtor; claim it when 'tis due. _Ulyss._ Never's my day, and then a kiss of you.[2024] _Dio._ Lady, a word: I 'll bring you to your father.[2025] [_Exit with Cressida._[2026] _Nest._ A woman of quick sense.[2025]
