Achil. Thou shalt be my ambassador to him, Thersites.
Thers. No, I'll put on his person; let Patroclus make his demands to me, and you shall see the pageant of Ajax.
Achil. To him, Patroclus; tell him I humbly desire the valiant Ajax to invite the noble Hector to my tent; and to procure safe conduct for him from our captain general Agamemnon.
Patro. Jove bless the mighty Ajax!
Thers. Humh!
Patro. I come from the great Achilles.
Thers. Ha!
Patro. Who most humbly desires you to invite Hector to his tent.
Thers. Humh!
Patro. And to procure him safe conduct from Agamemnon.
