Chorus: Beware of what may chance; full oft doth fortune veer.

Hector: I loathe the friend who brings his help too late.

Messenger: O prince, to turn away allies earns hatred. His mere appearing
would cause a panic amongst the foe.

Chorus: Let him, at least, since he is come, approach thy genial board
as guest, if not ally, for the gratitude of Priam's sons is forfeit
in his case.

Hector: Thou counsellest aright; thou too dost take the proper view.
Let Rhesus in his gilded mail join the allies of this land, thanks
to the messenger's report. (Exeunt the Messenger and Hector.)
