For though the gods do chance him to appoint

To be a warriour and command a camp,

Inserting courage in his noble heart,

Do they give right to utter insults here?”

There interrupting him, noble Achilles

Answer’d the king in few words: “Ay forsooth!

I should be thought a coward, Agamemnon,

A man of no estimation in the world,

If what you will I humbly yield unto,

And when you say, 'Do this,’ it is perform’d.
