Enter Æneas.[1181]
Agam. What would you 'fore our tent? 215
Æne. Is this great Agamemnon's tent, I pray you?
Agam. Even this.
Æne. May one that is a herald and a prince
Do a fair message to his kingly ears?[1182]
Agam. With surety stronger than Achilles' arm[1183] 220
'Fore all the Greekish heads, which with one voice
Call Agamemnon head and general.
Æne. Fair leave and large security. How may
A stranger to those most imperial looks
Know them from eyes of other mortals?
Agam. How! 225
Æne. Ay:[1184]
I ask, that I might waken reverence,
And bid the cheek be ready with a blush[1185]
Modest as morning when she coldly eyes[1186]
The youthful Phœbus:[1186] 230
Which is that god in office, guiding men?[1187]
Which is the high and mighty Agamemnon?
Agam. This Trojan scorns us; or the men of Troy
Are ceremonious courtiers.
