Lurks in the habit of a girl disguised

Amid the maidens of this island court.

Dio. That were too strange. How guess you that?

Ul.My spies,

Who have searched the isle, say there’s no youth thereon,

Having Achilles’ age of sixteen years,

But is well known of native parentage.

Now Thetis’ son must be of wondrous beauty,

That could not scape inquiry; we therefore look

For what is hid, and not to be disguised
