O'th' other fide, (30) the policy of those crafty fneering rafcals, that ftale old mouse-eaten dry cheese Neftor, and that fame dog-fox Ulyffes, is not prov'd worth a black-berry. They fet me up in policy that mungril cur Ajax, against that dog of as bad a kind, Achilles. And now is the cur Ajax prouder than the cur Achilles, and will not arm to-day whereupon the Grecians begin to proclaim barbarifm, and policy grows into an ill opinion. (29) Hence, brothel, lacquey! -] In this, and the Repetition of it, towards the Close of the Play, Troilus is made abfurdly to call Pandarus bardy-boufe; for Brothel fignifies nothing else that I know of; but he meant to call him an Attendant on a Bawdy-house, a Meffenger of obfcene Errands: a Sense which I have retriev'd, only by clapping an Hyphen betwixt the two Words. (30) O'th' other Side, the Policy of thofe crafty fwearing Rafcals, &c.] But in what Senfe are Neftor and Ulyffes accus'd of being fwearing Rafcals? What, or to whom, did they fwear? I am pofitive, I have reftor'd the true Reading. They had collogued with Ajax, and trim'd him up with infincere Praises, only in Order to have stir'd Achilles's Emulation. In this, they were true Sneerors; betraying the firft, to gain their Ends on the latter by that Artifice, S 3 Enter Soft Enter Diomedes and Troilus. here comes fleeve, and t'other. Troi.
