(posure;
Ulys. Thank the Heav'ns, Lord, thou art of n sweet Com-
Praise him that got thee, she that gave thee fuck:
Fame be thy Tutor, and thy parts of Nature
Thrice fam'd beyond, beyond all Erudition;
But he that disciplin'd thy Arms to fight,
Let Mars divide Eternity in twain,
And give him haif; and for thy Vigor,
Bull-bearing Milo his addition yield
To Sinewy Ajax; I will not praise thy Wisdom
Which, like a bourn, a pale, a shore, confines
Thy spacious and dilated parts; here's Nestor
Instructed by the Antiquary times:
He must, he is, he cannot but be wise.
But pardon, Father Nestor, were your Days
As

green as Ajax, and your Brain fo temper'd,
You should not have the eminence of him
But be as Ajax.
Ajax. Shall I call you Father?

.
Ulys. Ay, my good Son.
Dio. Be ruld by him, Lord Ajax.

Ulys. There's no tarrying here, the Hart Achilles
Keeps thicket; please it our General,
To call together all this State of War;
Fresh Kings are come to Troy; to Morrow
We must with all our main of Power Stand fast:
And here's a Lord (come Knights from East to West,
And cull their Flower) Ajax Thall cope the best.

Aga. Go we to Council, let Achilles Aeep;
Light Boats may fail swift, though great bulks draw deep.
