Cler. Tis nothing so. 210

Who was in fault for all the slaughters made

In Ilion, and about it? Were the Greekes?

Was it not Paris ravishing the Queene

Of Lacædemon; breach of shame and faith,

And all the lawes of hospitalitie?215

This is the beastly slaughter made of men,

When truth is over-throwne, his lawes corrupted;

When soules are smother'd in the flatter'd flesh,

Slaine bodies are no more then oxen slaine.
