Nest. Who, Thersites?
Ulyss. He.
Nest. Then will Ajax lack matter, if he have lost his
argument. 90
Ulyss. No, you see, he is his argument that has his
argument, Achilles.
Nest. All the better; their fraction is more our wish[1432]
than their faction: but it was a strong composure a fool[1433]

Ulyss. The amity that wisdom knits not, folly may[1434]
easily untie.
Re-enter Patroclus.[1435]
Here comes Patroclus.[1436]
Nest. No Achilles with him.[1437]
Ulyss. The elephant hath joints, but none for courtesy:[1438] 100
his legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure.[1438][1439]
