Ulysses Monologue from Troilus and Cressida

From Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare

male · dramatic · 32 sec

Give pardon to my speech. Therefore ’tis meet Achilles meet not Hector. Let us, like merchants, First show foul wares, and think perchance they’ll sell; If not, the lustre of the better shall exceed By showing the worse first. Do not consent That ever Hector and Achilles meet; For both our honour and our shame in this Are dogg’d with two strange followers.
